<img src='http://www.thesundayleader.lk/20030622/IMAGES/spotlightpic.2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'> The multi billion dollar question facing Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and his government in the wake of last weekend's attack on a LTTE vessel is, whether sections of the security forces are playing politics at the cost of gagging the peace process and a 4.5 billion dollar aid package. This is not the first time that Sri Lankan security forces have surreptitiously attempted to 'rock the boat' as far as the peace process is concerned, themselves committing serious ceasefire violations - all in the name of patriotism and a suspected security threat from the LTTE. Last Saturday's confrontation off the eastern coast is now embroiled in controversy and debate as the entire incident instead of being a success story for the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) is full of innuendo, and has unfortunately placed deep suspicion on the navy's relation of incidents that took plcace off the eastern coast. An official statement by President Chandrika Kumaratunga where she says the government including the Prime Minister, Defence Minister and Defence Secretary were unaware of the pre dawn confrontation on June 14, is a serious indictment on the security forces and even Kumaratunga as Commander in Chief. The President for whatever reason has not faulted the navy for a serious lapse in avoiding to take monitors from the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission to the scene soon after the detection of the LTTE vessel was made. If this had been done, the navy would have possibly been able to determine if indeed the LTTE vessel 'Shoshin' was smuggling weapons. A video filmed by the SLN at the scene amazingly has no footage of the LTTE vessel 'Shoshin' towing another boat or even of the ship on fire and later sinking. Instead, the video carries murky footage of only a single boat. The clarity is so bad it is not even clear if this boat is laden with weapons. The navy of course argues that the date on the footage is proof it was taken on June 14. This, however still does not explain how and why the SLN chose not to film the ship Shoshin before or after it was destroyed. There is absolutely no proof, other than verbal, that this vessel was in fact towing a boat laden with cargo and that it is this boat (which the SLN says was later detached from the ship) - that it has caught on film. Deadly game The incident last Saturday has raised serious doubts within government and senior members of the security establishment that the SLN is a willing partner to a deadly game of politics both internally and externally as they attempt to establish maritime superiority over the Sea Tigers. We are in no way suggesting that the navy should play second fiddle to the Tigers. The moot point however is that if the navy can rid itself of petty bickering and infighting amongst its senior officers, it will be in a better position to catch red-handed the LTTE at its own game - whether it be gun running or smuggling. One of the most salient features that arose out of last Saturday's confrontation between the navy and Sea Tigers was the inability of the navy to ascertain for certain if the LTTE vessel, 'Shoshin' was indeed smuggling weapons and explosives or for that matter something even more deadly. This, we will never know as a result of the navy's unprofessional manner in handling the situation. Indeed, the navy only allowed once more, for the LTTE to take high moral ground in a situation that could possibly have caught the Tigers with their tails well between their legs. Not only was Defence Minister Tilak Marapone not informed of the incident at the time it occurred, but the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) was also bypassed by the SLN for a full four hours before being told of such a detection. Navy Commander, Daya Sandagiri was out of Sri Lanka on the day of the attack and Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Mohan Wijeywickrema by all accounts should have been acting commander. This however was not so - Sandagiri left Sri Lanka for Hawaii without delegating any such responsibility to his next in command - Mohan Wijeywickrema. Wijeywickrema and Sandagiri have long been at loggerheads, and bitter rivals in a tussle for the hot seat. The end result of course is that matters of national security are placed at great risk due to personal and professional differences between the two heavyweights in the navy. We now place before our readers in factual detail the events which followed after the navy received information of a Tiger vessel which the navy claims was detected 175 nautical miles off the eastern coast. The LTTE maintains that the vessel 'Shoshin' was detected when sailing 266 nautical miles off the Eastern Coast, which if true is, outside Sri Lanka's territorial waters. Having said that however, Chief of Staff, Mohan Wijeywickrema said, if there is any suspicion over a merchant ship and if such information regarding that ship is detrimental to the sovereignty of a nation, then the navy has the right to stop and search the suspect vessel, divert it to a nearby port or use minimum force to stop it if it refuses to obey. This authority he claimed, can be extended to a limitless range, beyond 200 nautical miles which constitutes the country's economic zone and territorial waters. All laws applicable on land however can be extended for only upto 12 nautical miles from any coastline around the island. Truth or fiction? Whatever the truth or fiction of the exact position of the ship Shoshin maybe, contrary to initial claims, it was not the navy that first detected the suspect ship on radar screens - but the Sri Lanka Army. Army Commander, Lt. Gen. Lionel Balagalle was the first to get information from the army's Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) about an LTTE owned vessel entering Sri Lankan waters on June 14. Balagalle telephoned Daya Sandagiri in Hawaii and passed on this information. Balagalle also telephoned the Navy's Eastern Commander, Rear Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda. Balagalle's information was received three days before the confrontation took place. As a result, Karannagoda was in a position to meticulously plan a full-scale naval operation. Four naval boats were chosen by Karannagoda for a night watch on June 13. Nandimitra, a Fast Missile Vessel acquired recently by the navy from Israel and three other gunboats named Prathapa, Udara and Rana Jaya were commissioned and given orders. The information the SLN had was that this particular vessel, Shoshin had come and gone two months previously. She had however been unable to dispose of her cargo due to heavy naval surveillance and had been cruising the Indian Ocean waiting for an opportune moment. It never came. This time, the DMI had information that she was to return and would for certain make an attempt to unload her cargo. Karannagoda therefore carefully planned the execution of a naval operation to intercept the ship. Rear Admiral Mohan Wijeywickrema was also aware of the information three days before the incident but was marginalised on the day of the attack and was not informed of the confrontation until a whole two hours after detection of the vessel had been made. Ceasefire violation For some reason, one that is now pointing a finger of guilt at the SLN is that it took the navy over four hours after the confrontation occurred to inform the SLMM. As a result, the SLN is now guilty of having committed a ceasefire violation. This is the second time in the history of Sandagiri's tenure as Naval Chief that he left the country on June 11, without appointing a deputy to act in his place. This may have led to some confusion on the day of the incident when senior naval officers including Karannagoda telephoned Sandagiri repeatedly in Hawaii for further instructions and not Mohan Wijeywickrema who was the obvious choice - being the second in command and in the country. Sandagiri on June 12 telephoned Defence Secretary, Austin Fernando from Hawaii and had wished the latter for his birthday. This was two days before the incident and Sandagiri already had information of the LTTE ship arriving on the 14th, and had instructed Rear Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda to plan and execute a naval operation - but said nothing of the matter to Fernando. Sandagiri perhaps cannot be faulted in this respect due to the fact that he may not have wanted the information leaked before making the detection. Austin Fernando was informed of the incident on Saturday morning at around 6.15 a.m. by Mohan Wijeywickrema, while on his way to the Ratmalana Airport together with Lands Minister Rajitha Senaratne and Hindu Affairs Minister, T. Maheswaran. The trio, were flying to Jaffna to visit Gurunagar on an official matter. SLMM not informed Fernando had immediately asked if the SLMM had been informed to which Wijeywickrema had replied in the affirmative. This however was not so. It may have been that Wijeywickrema's order to inform the SLMM was not carried out until 7.30 a.m. that day. Wijeywickrema himself was informed of the confrontation only at 5.30 a.m. on June 14, despite the navy having detected the ship at 3.15 that morning. He departed almost immediately for naval headquarters arriving there at around 5.50 a.m. He thereafter telephoned Defence Secretary, Austin Fernando (at 6.15 a.m.) and told him a LTTE vessel had been detected by the navy. Wijeywickrema also telephoned his chief in Hawaii, Daya Sandagiri only to be told, "I know what is happening and I have already given instructions.." Defence Minister, Tilak Marapone was informed by Wijeywickrema only at 7.15 a.m. Wijeywickrema at the time claimed he knew little other than that a detection had been made and was forced to tell the Defence Minister that he (Marapone) should contact Karannagoda for a more detailed report. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe who was in Tissamaharama at the time was thereafter informed of the incident by Marapone. Meanwhile, on arrival in Jaffna, Austin Fernando and the two government ministers were met by Jaffna Security Forces Commander, Major General Sarath Fonseka and warned that due to Thambirajah Subathiran alias Robert, deputy leader of the Varatharaja Perumal Wing of the EPRLF having been killed at dawn, that day, June 14th, it was not advisable for the government VIP delegation to travel to town areas in Jaffna. Subathiran was killed by sniper fire that morning from the direction of Vembadi Girls' School while exercising on the flat above the EPRLF office in Nallur in Jaffna. Fonseka had also said the situation was tense in Jaffna due to an LTTE ship having been destroyed off the eastern coast. While still at Palaly in Jaffna, at around 8.45 a.m. Fernando received a telephone call from SLMM Chief, Tryggve Tellefssen. The latter informed the Defence Secretary that he had received a telephone call from the LTTE's Political Wing Head, Tamilselvan at 8.15 that morning about the destruction of another LTTE vessel and that it was sinking. Tellefssen also told Fernando at this stage that Tamilselvan was claiming the navy had arrested 12 crew members from the vessel Shoshin. Fernando immediately checked with Karannagoda who categorically denied holding custody any LTTE cadres from the ill-fated vessel. Karannagoda also refuted an LTTE claim that the navy had boarded the Tiger ship. Tense situation Fernando meantime requested the SLMM Chief to check every possible naval boat and SLAF chopper for any LTTE cadres who may have been arrested. The original report from the navy flotilla of boats at the location stated that the ship was towing another boat laden with cargo. This report amazingly is not collaborated by a video filmed by the navy at the scene. The navy video filmed from on board its Fast Missile Vessel (FMV) has only pictures of a single boat escaping with what appears to be some kind of cargo. It is not even clear if this cargo is indeed weapons and explosives. The video has no footage of the vessel Shoshin, of it being on fire, or even sinking. A senior naval officer, when quizzed on this aspect said this was because the FMV together with its night vision video filming unit, giving chase, vanished in the wake of the mystery boat, that according to the navy had been detached from the ship. By the time the FMV returned to the original scene of detection Shoshin had sunk, he said. Hence, there is no record other than verbal, of what exactly happened - whether the Sea Tigers exploded themselves and the ship they were on, or if the SLN destroyed the vessel by firing at it when it disobeyed the order to halt. Another curious aspect to this incident is that the FMV, despite giving chase, lost sight of the mystery boat almost as soon as it was detached from the ship. Yet, the navy did not call for additional assistance from the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) until 7.45 a.m. that day. By the time a reconnaissance SLAF aircraft was dispatched from Ratmalana Airport together with a navy officer on board to search for the missing boat, it was 8.45 a.m. This aircraft had searched a wide expanse of sea off the Eastern Coast for almost the entire day (Saturday) but had not sighted of any boat, ship or survivors. According to SLAF Chief, sAir Marshal Donald Perera, even the ship Shoshin had sunk without a trace by the time the SLAF aircraft reached the location. (See box for SLAF Chief's comments) President's bombshell Meanwhile, President Chandrika Kumaratunga dropped a bombshell on Saturday June 14, when she issued a press release claiming the navy had fired at and destroyed the LTTE vessel on her instructions. (See box for Presidential press release). Needless to say the President's statement put into a spin the navy's official version of the incident as the SLN had claimed that the Sea Tigers blew themselves up and the ship. Kumaratunga in fact only collaborated the LTTE statement, which charges the ship was destroyed as a result of naval fire. A report issued on June 16 by Chief of Staff Mohan Wijeywickrema to Secretary Defence, Austin Fernando,s states with reference to the missing boat, "the craft being towed was fitted with a medium calibre weapon." Wijeywickrema apparently has based his statement on the SLN video. The film however is not clear enough to ascertain if indeed the boat was carrying any weapons - leave alone a medium calibre gun. Wijeywickrema in his report also says that when the LTTE ship was challenged and asked to establish its identity, it had responded by stating the name as Shoshin, port as Belize and as arriving from Surabyah in Indonesia. The navy claims it checked this information with the Lloyds Register of Ships and it was found that the above information was incorrect. All this took considerable time, and it is not clear at what stage the ship is alleged to have detached the mystery boat from its wake. Wijeywickrema maintains that the SLN after confirming that the details given by the Shoshin captain were incorrect, approached at close range the LTTE ship to prevent movement and fired warning shots as per the 'Rules of Engagement' in order to stop the vessel. He states that thereafter the LTTE vessel opened fire at the SLN craft using medium calibre machine guns. The SLN he asserts then took retaliatory action "in the exercise of the right of self-defence." The SLN craft he adds, "then observed a large fireball and the ship gradually sank as a result of a possible explosion created by themselves." Confusing claims At some point between the time the SLN was verifying the details given to them by the captain of Shoshin and before perhaps the navy began firing warning shots, Shoshin allegedly detached the mystery boat from the ship. Even more confusing is President Kumaratunga's claim that the LTTE in addition to detaching the single boat also unloaded cargo from the ship onto "kuda bottu" - (smaller life boats) - all while a flotilla of naval vessels watched, but apparently never had the wit to film the unfolding drama. The LTTE of course have an almost completely different version of the events. According to the Tigers, the captain of the LTTE ship had at around 7 a.m. on June 14, agreed to comply with a request by the SLN to examine the vessel. The LTTE claims the ship was an oil tanker. The LTTE Peace Secretariat had been informed and in turn contacted the SLMM. The LTTE maintains that at about 7.30 a.m. five naval boats bearing Nos. P701, P330, P332, P341 and P340 approached the Tiger ship, positioned about 1000 meters away and started firing. After a few minutes of firing the LTTE states that the navy requested the crew on board Shoshin to use life-saving boats and get on the SLN vessels. This, the LTTE asserts was complied with by the crew. The navy however has categorically denied having taken any of the LTTE crew into their custody. A press release by the Defence Ministry on June 15 at 4.15 p.m. by Brigadier Sanath Karunaratne states, "the Sri Lanka Navy categorically rejects allegations made by the LTTE that the navy boarded the LTTE vessel, fired at crew members and arrested them after they jumped overboard." All this only proves our point of the navy's unprofessional manner in having handled or rather mishandled this entire operation - and Rear Admiral Karannagoda should be held responsible. If Karannagoda had the sense to have sent out a SLMM monitor at the time of detection, this kind of contradiction could have well been avoided. More seriously, is what appears to have been the work of a 'hidden hand' to deliberately cause a confrontation and upset the peace process. In what appears to be a stupendously silly act the navy was at the scene with a video camera but for some strange reason chose not to film the drama that unfolded before their eyes - taking place on the vessel Shoshin. Instead, the SLN restricted their footage to only the alleged boat that escaped. The footage does not even have proof that the LTTE ship detached this boat it was allegedly supposed to be towing. It is crystal clear that the navy deliberately avoided informing the SLMM until it was too late. If at the time of detection a naval vessel had been commissioned to take a SLMM monitor to the scene, it would have cleared all doubts and it might have been possible to determine what exactly Shoshin was bringing for the LTTE. The SLMM in fact were informed of the incident only at 7.30 a.m. on June 14, exactly four hours and 15 minutes after the detection had been made. Spokeswoman for the SLMM, Agnes Bragadottir said that the SLN had after the incident, taken one naval SLMM monitor to a spot 110 nautical miles from the shore and pointed out a location the navy claimed the vessel Shoshin had sunk. However, there was absolutely no trace of a ship having sunk in this location that could be observed by the SLMM monitor. Fresh request Returning, the SLMM monitor stated he was not satisfied with the information given by the SLN and to be fair by both sides, the LTTE claim must also be verified and that area also patrolled. The SLMM on Saturday then made a fresh request from the navy to be taken to the location the LTTE insisted the ship had been sunk which was 266 nautical miles off the eastern coast. A second naval boat with another naval monitor left on Saturday evening for the location specified by the Tigers, but was apparently forced to return a mere 25 nautical miles out at sea due to rough weather conditions. The SLMM however persisted with its request to the navy, and on the evening of Monday, June 16, the navy supplied another boat which left from Trincomalee with another SLMM monitor on board. That same evening a separate naval boat left from Jaffna as well, also with a SLMM monitor on board to tour these locations. Three days later, when we checked with Agnes Bragadottir, she said the two monitors had yet to return from sea but were expected to be back on Thursday evening. She added that no further comments would be available until the monitors had completed their report. The LTTE maintains that since the vessel was an oil tanker, after it sank, there would have been traces of an oil spill and that the navy deliberately delayed taking SLMM monitors to the exact location in order to buy time for the oil spill to disappear. This theory has been strongly refuted by senior naval officers who said that if the vessel had indeed been an oil tanker, the oil spill would take days to disappear. The fact there is no evidence of an oil spill, they said, proves that the LTTE is lying about the contents of the ship. Vice Admiral Daya Sandagiri says.. Navy Chief Daya Sandagiri said he never at any stage informed President Chandrika Kumaratunga of the detection and confrontation at sea last Saturday. Sandagiri said he was informed of the detection while in Hawaii by his Eastern Commander, Wasantha Karannagoda and gave instructions on how to handle the situation. Asked why he had not nominated Rear Admiral Mohan Wijeywickrema as acting commander while he was away, Sandagiri said, "I have no authority to do so. On informing the Defence Ministry of my travel overseas it is upto the Defence Secretary or Minister to name an acting commander. This nomination of course has to be approved by the President ." Sandagiri asserted that since no move was made by either the government or the President to appoint Wijeywickrema or anyone else as acting commander he left the country without handing over duties to an acting nominee. It is right that the Defence Ministry should have named an acting commander and forwarded the name to President Chandrika Kumaratunga for approval. However, after this government came into power in December 2001, Sandagiri went to China in June 2002. On this occasion he issued a letter to all heads of divisions in the navy as well as to the Defence Ministry that Chief of Staff Mohan Wijeywickrema would oversee all duties of the commander in his absence. In August 2002, Sandagiri went to the USA. He issued a similar letter stating once more that Wijeywickrema would oversee his duties as commander while he was overseas. Thereafter Wijeywickrema petitioned court on another matter and Sandagiri was named as respondent. When the Navy Chief went to India for three days leaving on December 23, last year, he left without naming Wijeywickrema as acting commander. This time around for his trip to Hawaii, he issued a letter to all naval divisions instructing his men to remain at their stations but in case of an emergency, he left a telephone number he could be contacted on in Hawaii. This explains why on the day of the incident on June 14, senior naval officers bypassed Rear Admiral Mohan Wijeywickrema and instead directly telephoned the Commander in Hawaii for instructions. * * * "We did what was best" - Army Chief A visibly annoyed Prime Minister on Monday, June 16, held a meeting at 8.30 p.m. with Defence Minister Tilak Marapone, Defence Secretary Austin Fernando and Minister Milinda Moragoda. They were joined an hour later by the two service chiefs, Lt. Gen. Lionel Balagalle of the army, Air Marshal Donald Perera of the air force. Chief of Staff, Rear Admiral Mohan Wijeywickrema represented Navy Commander Daya Sandagiri who was still overseas at the time. At this meeting the PM had said even the donor community was asking why the President had handled this confrontation in this manner. Wickremesinghe insisted the Defence Minister attend a meeting the President had called with the service chiefs the following day - Tuesday, June 17. "You must go for this Tilak." the PM stated, urging Marapone to telephone Kumaratunga and insist he attend this meeting. This Marapone did, and Kumaratunga agreed to his being present at the discussion the following day. Meanwhile, Balagalle had responded to the Premier's ire by saying "we did what was best under the circumstances and acted in the best interests of the country." When Wickremesinghe asked why the SLMM had not been informed of the incident at the time of detection, Balagalle had responded saying."If we had informed the SLMM at the time, they, (the monitors) would have alerted the LTTE." At Tuesday's meeting with President Chandrika Kumaratunga, Vice Admiral Daya Sandagiri, Rear Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda, Rear Admiral H. S. Rathnakeerthi who is Commander, Western Naval Area and Admiral C. N. Thuduwewatta were present. Commander, Sri Lanka Air Force, Air Marshal Donald Perera and Army Chief, Lt. Gen. Lionel Balagalle was also present. Marapone also sat in on the meeting, which dealt with security issues including the incident last Saturday. * * * Unclear footage - SLMM Agnes Bragadottir, Spokeswoman for the SLMM said that one naval monitor was allowed to board the navy's Fast Missile Vessel (FMV) and view footage of the incident. She said that apart from film which lent an impression of "an LTTE boat getting away" there was no other footage shown or handed over to the SLMM. She refused to comment when asked if this film proved the boat was carrying weapons. * * * Air Marshal Donald Perera says. "We had absolutely no sightings of any boat, ship or survivors." the SLAF Chief told The Sunday Leader when quizzed. Explaining, Perera said a surveillance aircraft from the SLAF flew over an area covering between 100 to 280 nautical miles off the eastern coast last Saturday, in search of a boat or boats laden with cargo, or survivors, but had absolutely no sightings. On Saturday June 14, Perera asserted that the SLAF surveillance plane searched this area of sea for about six hours but saw nothing. The SLAF resumed their search on Sunday, June 15 and flew almost the entire day, "even at low altitude - but had absolutely no sightings." On Sunday, the Air Chief said the SLAF plane also picked up a SLMM monitor from China Bay at the request of the SLMM and together with a naval officer searched a vast expanse of sea but ended with nil results. * * * President's mystery informant The 4.5 billion dollar question is who in the security forces informed the President of the confrontation at sea? Mohan Wijeywickrema has already told the government that he never at any stage initiated a telephone call to the President. Navy Chief Daya Sandagiri also made the same denial. A press release from the Presidential Secretariat on June 14, confirms that the President was only too aware of the entire incident almost from the time of detection. The press release on behalf of the President by Janadasa Peiris, states clearly that at around 9 a.m. on June 14, due to the navy boats not receiving a response from the LTTE vessel on what cargo it was carrying or permission to examine that cargo, "the navy opened fire and attacked the LTTE vessel thereby causing it to sink." The President claims the attack was carried out on her instructions. Kumaratunga's press statement goes onto state that the navy kept her informed and reported how they witnessed the crew on the vessel Shoshin unloading cargo onto "smaller boats" before the vessel was destroyed. Kumaratunga claims that this information was conveyed to her by naval headquarters. Kumaratunga points out that this is the second LTTE vessel caught gun running that has been destroyed by the SLN. She asserts that three other vessels escaped due to the fact that the government was informed at the time of detection and the SLN was thus, prevented by the government from destroying the ships "in the name of peace." She adds that this time however because the government was not informed at the time of detection, the SLN was able to successfully destroy and sink the LTTE ship. A senior officer at naval headquarters confided to The Sunday Leader that nobody at naval headquarters kept the President informed - but that Kumaratunga kept telephoning naval headquarters at regular intervals demanding an update on the incident. Who had initially informed the President of the confrontation remains a mystery.

ஈராக்கில் மூக்கை நுழைத்து வாங்கிக் கட்டத் தொடங்கியுள்ளார்கள். இனி இங்கேயும் வந்து வாங்கிக் கட்டப் போகின்றார்களோ? கப்பல் நன்றாகத்தான் உள்ளது. ஆனால் எமது உயிராயுதங்களின் முன் இவையேல்லாம் எங்கே?
