The Sri Lankan Army continues to attack the last stronghold of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) today, and nobody knows why.The LTTE, which once controlled basically all of northern Sri Lanka and massed an army of probably around 20,000 effectives, are now constrained to a square mile of territory in the northeastern part of the island, caught between the ocean on one side, and the Sri Lankan Army in three other directions. With the remaining hundreds of fighters are thousands of civilians, who either fled the Sri Lankan Army, or were forced to move by the LTTE, and are currently caught in the cross-fire.
