Truck
loads of timber being transported across the Omanthai
checkpoint into the uncleared areas have been a common
sight in the recent weeks. The reasons for the transportation
of large stocks of timber are not clear, but what
is clear is that lorry loads of timber are being moved
into the uncleared areas where the LTTE has imposed
a ban on felling trees. The picture was captured in
the LTTE-controlled areas of Kilinochchi (See related
story on page 6). Pic by Lakshman Gunathilake..
