### 2009 New Year Attack and assassination

Fifteen masked gunmen stormed the studio and transmission complex and destroyed the main control room of the group on 6 January 2009. Investigations revealed that a Claymore mine was used for the attack. Critics and observers linked the attack to the controversial reporting that was adopted in relation to the capture of Kilinochchi by Government Forces. Opposition political parties and associated media organizations accused the government of being responsible for the attack.
