Colombo: The Sri Lanka Army website has been hacked, confirmed the Lanka Defence Ministry calling it LTTE's cyber terrorism.
The hackers have pasted gruesome pictures of people who are apparently victims of the civil war. Army technicians are working to remove the images.
The lankan military says that after months of heavy fighting, the Tigers are reduced to their last few hundred fighters, and this is their last resort to attack the Lankan government.
About 110,000 Tamils displaced by the violence have been detained in congested government-run camps, where food, water and medical shortages have been reported.
In the most recent attack by Sri Lanka on the Tamil Tigers, the Lankan Navy on Wednesday destroyed six LTTE boats and foiled seven attempts by the rebels to recapture the Rektavaikkal fortifications killing 34 Tamil Tigers, amid reports that Velupillai Prabhakaran might try to flee the island through the sea route.
Lankan warships detected six Tiger boats sneaking out of the coastal patch they still hold, sinking all of them and killing 25 rebels on board, a Naval spokesman said.
The presence of boats with the Tigers indicates that they are still holding on to some of them to facilitate the escape of top LTTE leaders.
