Members of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) in Trincomalee Saturday morning met with Mr.S.Elilan, Trincomalee district political head of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), and discussed ways to curb events detrimental to peace, such as those which had recently in the district, SLMM sources said.

The discussion which lasted for about an hour was held in the LTTE political secretariat in Sampoor in the LTTE controlled Muttur east, a day after the attack on a LTTE sentry in Poonagar in the LTTE controlled area, about five hundred meter away from Mahindapura camp of the Sri Lanka Army (SLA).

One LTTE helper died and another injured in the attack carried out by an unidentified group of persons in army uniform three days after a complaint was lodged with the SLMM by Mr.Elilan that cadres of Karuna group had been given shelter in army camps in the area, sources said.

SLMM monitors are reported to have held discussions with the senior officers of the SLA and Sri Lanka Navy regarding these incidents, sources said.
