Govt. prepares for LTTe chemical attack- Daily Mirror- 2008/09/17


By Sandun A Jayasekera

The government has put in place contingency plans for a possible chemical attack by the LTTE against the security forces fighting in the North.

Healthcare and Nutrition Minister Nimal Siripala De Silva, yesterday, instructed officials to immediately despatch extra health staff, medicines and equipment to the North to face any contingencies that may arise in the event of a chemical attack on the security forces, said ministry spokesman W.M.D. Wanninayaka.

The decision was taken following a discussion held at the ministry and chaired by Mr. De Silva, to draft a contingency plan in the event of a chemical attack on the armed forces, he said.

The discussion was attended by Prof. Ravindra Fernando, acting Health Secretary Dr. Nihal Jayatilaka, Dr. Ajith Mendis, Brigadier Sanjeewa Senaratna, Col. N.K.Ariyaratna, Major Ruwan Senatilaka and Dr. Hemantha Benaragama. Mr. De Silva had given instructions to post a special medical team and nurses to hospitals in Vavuniya, Padaviya, Welioya and Mannar, after defence officials pointed out the shortage of human resources to deal with the war situation in those areas. Doctors and nurses serving in the south will be posted for a 10 month period to these hospitals.

Mr. Wanninayaka said that Prof. Fernando had been tasked with giving a special training to medical and nursing staff on chemical and unconventional weapons attacks and medical emergencies arising from such attacks.

Mr. De Silva had added that the government had taken all necessary precautions against an unconventional weapons attack and to prevent the armed forces personnel from falling victim to such attacks.

Last month former LTTE eastern leader Karuna Amman had said that the LTTE might resort to the use of chemical weapons. He had added that experiments done on those lines by LTTE scientists had been successful

Soldiers hospitalized after ‘gas’ attack

At least sixteen soldiers were hospitalized after experiencing breathing difficulties following an LTTE attack using what was initially believed to be some sort of gas in the Akkarayankulam and Vannivilankulam areas in the Kilinochchi district.

Informed ground sources revealed that on Monday evening troops

of the Task Force 2 in Wanniwilankulam, West of Mankulam were attacked using the gas which caused breathing problems to at least six soldiers.

Last morning, soldiers of the 57 division operating in Akkarayankulam in the Kilinochchi district came under a similar type of attack. At least ten soldiers were admitted to hospital with breathing difficulties.

The Military believes the LTTE may have used a substance similar to Tear Gas for the attack. However, there was no official confirmation about the attack. (SJ)

Speaking on this report SLA spokes person Big. Udaya Nanayakkara this mornig said this isn't yet confirmed as a gas attack. He said that even smoke bombes that are extensively used in battle fields also can cause these sorts of breathing problems.

Reversing C++ String And QString

After the rust string overview of its internal substructures, let's see if c++ QString storage is more light, but first we'r going to take a look to the c++ standard string object: At first sight we can see the allocation and deallocation created by the clang++ compiler, and the DAT_00400d34 is the string. If we use same algorithm than the rust code but in c++: We have a different decompilation layout. Note that the Ghidra scans very fast the c++ binaries, and with  rust binaries gets crazy for a while. Locating main is also very simple in a c++ compiled binary, indeed is more  low-level than rust. The byte array is initialized with a simply move instruction:         00400c4b 48 b8 68        MOV        RAX,0x6f77206f6c6c6568 And basic_string generates the string, in the case of  rust this was carazy endless set of calls, detected by ghidra as a runtime, but nevertheless the basic_str...
