SRI Lankan government troops entered into the Tamil Tigers capital of Kilinochchi today and the government troops will take over the town soon, an official said.
"Fall of Kilinochchi soon will be a reality," defense ministry spokesman said.
The fall of Kilinochchi will be a big blow to the rebel Tigers, who have had used the town as their political and military headquarters for the past 10 years and created structures for an independent state, such as a police, courts, and tax offices.
The on-going government military offensives have forced the rebels out much of their territory in the north of the nation. The government vowed to crush the Tiger rebels and end the country's 25-year-old insurgency in the year 2009.
The long time conflict has killed more than 70,000 people.
