116 cadres surrendered and another 18 were caught live injured.
As estimated, by looking at the charcoal piles there have been nearly another 120 reinforcements who became charcoal when the two busses and armed truck they were traveling were attacked which burnt both the busses into ashes. They do not include in the recovered body count.
Government only has recovered 525 bodies, but another 40 or more are found beyond salvage as most of them have burnt into ashes (mainly in the two buildings where they were cornered).
Troops are still recovering bodies (yesterday they have recovered 60 badly bloated bodies that have been scattered in the field closer to the No-Fire Zone). This has not been taken into the account of earlier 525 body count.
Also the troops yesterday have found three female cadres live who have hidden themselves under coconut palms and metal sheets for days survived sharing two water bottles and few high-protein biscuits.
All and all military put the LTTE loss in PTK alone as 825 from 1st of Aril to the 5th. This count does not include the injured who escaped to the NFZ (and whose bodies were taken to NFZ when they were retreating).
