The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam said two men from the "Black Air Tiger" suicide squad piloted the two light aircraft that carried out the attack last night.
"The aircrafts dived into Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Headquarters in Colombo and into the SLAF base at Katunayaka at around 0915 pm last night carrying out successful air raids," pro-LTTE website TamilNet.com reported.
However, the Government had claimed on Friday night to have shot down one aircraft and the second one was disabled by the anti air gunfire. It also said the pilot of one aircraft was killed.
TamilNet.com also published a photograph of the two suicide pilots together with Tamil Tigers supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran said to have been taken shortly before they set off on the suicide mission.

This cowardly and despicable act be VP, only highlights what the world has known all along reg: the LTTE. Every single attrocity committed by them was /is dictacted by their leader, for his own benifit. And the lower cadres carry out his orders like blind sheep. So, while they die, he lives. That too in luxury. It makes one wonder, whether , at the climax, will VP have the guts to practice what he preaches.....carry out a suicide attack himself. Or, will he just run away, like the coward he actually is. Since, sacrificing innocent and guillable young Tamils, seems to be his Modus Operandi, there is a strong possibility that he will opt for the latter. In the wake of the international community asking the LTTE to lay down arms, they take a last ditch, stupid and pathetic stand to send in two aircraft, thereby only escalating the grave situatinon ( for themselves). How much more demented can anyone get?
LTTE are diabolic liers.If the aircrafts would have escaped the tune will be different.Since they lost both of them now it is suicide bombing.Anyhow they lost two flyable crafts.
Think that how many tamils had been genocides by the Singhala army now you open your throat to say your handicap opinion shut up if you cant help the disperate innocent tamils. Think that you born with a real mother and sister,brotherwood!
Army told they captured all the runways from LTTE then how come these incidents?
As our Home minister Chidambaram said, the LTTE starts to laid down their arms. Let peace prevail upon the Island. Atleast now Indian and Srilankan Govenments must take serious steps to stop discrimation against the Tamils. Please.
