LTTE grew in strength carrying out spectacular assaults on the police and the army. The first ever attack on the army took place on October 15, 1981 at KKS Road, Jaffna in which two soldiers died. This was followed up with a series of attacks culminating in the ambush of an army patrol on July 23, 1983 at Thirunalvely in which 13 soldiers got killed. Prabhakaran was one of the 14 LTTE cadres who took part in this ambush led by Lieutenant Sellakili who attained martyrdom. All hell broke loose in the South when the 13 dead bodies were flown to Colombo for burial. Thousands of Thamils were slaughtered by the Sinhalese hoodlums lead by Buddhist monks in yellow robes and millions worth of property were destroyed.
