According to the military sources, a firing rang used by the LTTE terrorists, probably for training requirements, also found in a search operation conducted in the 2 square Km area captured by the troops. Meanwhile, several tombs erected for terror cadres killed in past gun battles were also found in general area Alkaddiveli, between Andankulam and Parappakkadanthan. 
The village of PARRAPPAKADANTHAN, situated NORTH of GIANT'S TANK is a developed area consisting of many buildings and a large terrorist training complex including a firing range, the hideout of the LTTE leader "BHANU" and a terrorist cemetery.

Troops are now consolidating their positions in the area. (Courtesy : Ministry of Defence and Media Centre for National Security)
