reuters and afp quoting government officials report that, military has moved in to sampur (or sampoor) without much resistance today, after a week of fighting. so does bbc (hardly the most reliable source on sri lanka). nothing yet on mod, national security, or tamilnet.
if confirmed and after consolidation, this is a great development for the sri lankan military. it certainly took less time than i estimated. maybe tigers are even weaker than we think.

GREAT!
Around 4 I heard that the LTTE was still fighting in Sampur's suburbs with mortars and small arms. Haven't followed the story since. What's the latest? And interestingly, at the time the story broke Tamilnet had nothing to say about it so I'm guessing the situation is tipped to our favour.
tigers get old too.
Keshi.
