Mar 29, Colombo: Sri Lanka Air Force today rejected a news report published by some international media outlets saying that there is another light aircraft of LTTE.

When contacted Air Force Spokesman Wing Commander Janaka Nanayakkara said they have not received any information over another light air craft belonging to LTTE.

According to the Spokesman four light aircraft of the LTTE were already destroyed by the government forces during the past two years. Seven air strips of the LTTE have also been captured by the forces during the ongoing operations in the North.

However some international media said that the Tamil Tigers may still have an aircraft left in their arsenal.

Media reports said civilians had sighted this aircraft on several occasions and repairs are being done on the aircraft by the LTTE technicians inside a hut.

Some defence observers also believe the existence of another aircraft reserved for the exclusive use of their leader V. Prabhakaran for him to get away when the need arises.
