Suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militants triggered off a claymore mine explosion targeting a tractor at Weliara in the Moneragala District in the morning of May 5 killing one person, military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Daily News. The claymore mine was placed under an electric fence which was set up by the Pelwatte Sugar Corporation to keep away elephants. "There is no troop movement or Army detachment in this area. It is very obvious that the LTTE cadres are attempting to scare civilians and create psycho panic among settlers in the area," he added.
