Does fall of Kilinochchi imminent?

Sri Lankan army forces started this humanitarian war on last year and have been victorious over the recent past. Throughout the operation their main target was to capture Kilinochchi, Army troops of 57, 58 Divisions and Task force 2 & 3 have surrounded the Kilinochchi area in 3 directions and LTTE have no option than defend strategically important Kilinochchi. As a result of that they have created a several Kilometers long earth bund which delays army troops to enter Kilinochchi. During recent days heavy fighting were taken place in the near that bund and Sri Lankan army forces claim that they have captured several parts of that bund.

Since LTTE have the advantage of the land and the rain, the army attacks became some what seldom over the past days. This was not the army expected. On the other hand there were several incidences occur over the past days which give them a clear advantage. Many civilians form Wanni and Mulathiw came towards the government areas. As the authorities said, more and more civilians may come soon. Sri Lankan army march forward, hard and strong to the heart of Wanni. Next couple of weeks may crucial for both parties. There would be heavy death tolls from both parties.
