Another
military informant shot dead Four LTTE cadres armed with grenades and pistols stormed the Pepiliyana house of Tissaweerasingham Surendran alias Suresh around 5 a.m. and shot him dead with a 9mm pistol. The men had broken open the door to enter the house, where they pushed aside the victim's sister-in-law, and shot Mr. Surendran, a resident from Batticaloa. The gunshots were followed by a grenade explosion, but it was not clear whether the attackers had flung the grenade or the victim had blasted it in a counter-attack. Mr. Surendran was an LTTE member, but left the movement in 2001 and arrived in Colombo. He was a close friend of Plote Mohan who was killed in Bambalapitiya recently. Military Spokesman Sumedha Perera said Mr. Surendran was the 21st civilian informant working with the army to be killed since the Ceasefire Agreement was signed in February 2002. The Sunday Times learns that the army had helped him to rent out the house where he was living and making arrangements for him to migrate. |
