   KATTANKUDI, Sri Lanka (AP) -- Tamil militants rampaged through
two  mosques  in  eastern  Sri  Lanka  with machine guns and hand
grenades, killing more than 110 people as they knelt  in  prayer,
witnesses and officials said Saturday.
   Town coroner Mohammed Noordeen said he examined the bodies  of
112  people from the massacre on Friday evening. Police and other
sources gave casualty  figures that reached as high as 131. Mili-
tary  officials  earlier said 150 people had been killed. All the
victims were men. No one immediately claimed  responsibility  for
the attack, but officials blamed the separatist Liberation Tigers
of Tamil Eeelam for the massacre. The  Tigers  broke  a  13-month
cease-fire on June 11 to resume their war for independence in the
Tamil-dominated north and east of this Indian Ocean island.  More
than 3,000 combatants have been killed in the latest fighting.
   Brigadier A.M.U. Seneviratne, army commander of the Batticaloa
district,  said 30 Tamil rebels crossed a lagoon near this Moslem
town, 140 miles east of Colombo,  divided  into  two  groups  and
attacked  the  mosques  during Friday evening prayers. The rebels
sprayed machine gunfire from three  sides  into  the  Meera  Juma
mosque,  where about 200 worshipers had gathered, and also lobbed
grenades. Amid screams and smoke, they fled before soldiers could
arrive  from  a camp about two miles away. Another group attacked
the smaller Thaik mosque with had about 30 worshipers inside.  "I
was  kneeling down and praying when the rebels started shooting,"
said Mohammed Ibrahim, a  40-year-old  businessman.  "The  firing
went  on  for  15 minutes.  I escaped without being hit and found
myself  among  bodies  all  over  the  place."  Another  witness,
Mohammed Arif, a 17-year-old student said: "Before I escaped from
a side door and scaled a wall, I saw a Tiger rebel put a gun into
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the mouth of a small Moslem boy and pull the trigger."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   Seneviratne said most of the victims were shot in the back  or
side.  Evidence  of  the  carnage  was apparent Saturday when the
government flew reporters to the area. The floor  of  the  mosque
was  splattered  with  blood and the walls pockmarked with bullet
holes. Bodies were lined up in neat rows, wrapped in  the  tradi-
tional Moslem white burial clothes. Small cardboard placards gave
the name of the victim and the number of the  corpse.  Groups  of
sobbing  Moslem women flocked to the two mosques. Vehicles carry-
ing bodies, with Moslem clergymen chanting  verses,  rolled  past
armed  soldiers  patrolling the town. Shops, homes and businesses
were closed. In a cemetery at the Meera  Jumma  mosque,  mourners
had dug a long common grave for a row of coffins.
   In Colombo, a  Moslem  member  of  Parliament  and  opposition
leader said the government failed to protect Moslems or give them
arms to protect themselves.
