Sri Lanka's army says it is closing in on the Tamil Tigers' de facto capital in the north.

For more than two decades, the country has been entangled in a bitter civil war.

More than 50,000 people have been killed in the conflict between the military and the Liberation  Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or LTTE.

Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley gained exclusive access to the Sri Lankan military as it approaches Kilinochchi.

  • LTTE is getting ...

    LTTE is getting defeated in all fronts their fantasyland has shrunk at an unimaginable speed, them cadres of the once so called invincible force are aimlessly running all over the place to escape from the rapidly advancing unpredictable army who simultaneously keeps pouring in from all sides. LTTE members has three choices, surrender as ordered by the army, run and drown in the Indian Ocean and become shark food, or wait for the next bullet or bomb for annihilation.

  • Looks like the LTTE ...

    Looks like the LTTE PIMPS in here are having a problem digesting the bitter truth!! What has hit them really hard is that the truth is revealed by Aljazeera, the news broadcaster that has won the trust of its millions strong worldwide audience as the most credible and accurate New broadcaster of the world. No wonder Aljazeera, within a very short period of time, has rapidly won the trust of millions of Europeans and Americans while the BBC, CNN, Reuters and the AFP are fast loosing credibility

  • starcatcher888. ...

    starcatcher888. Claims he read the Qur'an.
    I have read the Bible Torah and the Qur'an.. NO where in any of those holy book it mentions anything about hating another human being.. 2nd point ill make the Qur'an doesnt discuss anything about Prophet Mohammeds life.. It comes from another source. Qur'an is the last and the final Guidance to mankind for GOD.. if you even believe in GOD. Go look at his you tube page this guy has nothing but hate messages.. So dont come and dictate us asshole.

  • im actually not ...

    im actually not muslim, im more christian than anything id say. i just dont like it how alot of people here in the states just believe what they are told, instead of learning history or just making up their own decision. muslims are not the problem, but every power center has to have an enemy to keep control. thats not to say muslims shouldnt work on the exremist lines they have in the religion just as jews and christians need to aswell.
