Subject: LTTE's massacre

LTTE massacred thousands of civilians
--------------------------------------
The Liberation tigers of tamil ellam (LTTE) has massacred more than
two thousand innocent civilians, since 1983. The first incident was their
attack on a Sinhala village near Kokkulai, in the Mullativ district during
1985. In this incident 63 people , including seven infant babies, were
brutally massacred by the LTTE. The terrorists used axes, knifes, etc.,
the victims were poor fishermen and their families. The 13 man team of the
LTTE was headed by a terrorist codenamed " Henry" from Ottuchuttan, a village
about 40 miles away from Mullativ.
In 1986, LTTE attacked another sinhala village in the Anuradapura dist.
In Poonawa, a village about 13 miles from madawachchiya, LTTE killed 27
poor farmers. In the incident, a 70 year old woman, her daughter- 34 year
old mother of four kids- and all four grandchildren were axed to death by the
LTTE.
Most of you know , who did the massive killing at the Anuradapura town in which
more than 300 people were killed. (the actual figure is still not known).
Eventhough LTTE denied this , they praise "Victor"(former LTTE's mannar leader
who did this) in their publications for this "brave act".

Former trincomale leader "Poolendiran" was a popular figure and well known
for his massacres. He himself had killed more than 100 civilians.
He was the key-terrorist behind the killing of a bus-load of civilians near
Kantale (trino dist), in which about 300 people were lined up and shot to
dead.
LTTE has a good policy. They do not discriminate people by age, sex, civil
status, religon, or race, when they kill. They killed not only sinhaleese,
but also Muslims and Tamils. In Kinniyai, two LTTE area leaders were shot by
STF. Two muslim men from this village gave the information about these LTTE
fellows to the STF. Two days after their leaders were killed, LTTE attacked the
villagers, and they fired motor shells, burnt shops and houses, and killed 13
people, in an operation what they called  'retaliation".

I don't need to say about the killings of Tamils. People from Jaffna and east
may know how LTTE behaved when they wiped out TELO, EPRLF and other groups.
They burnt boys from these groups. fathers of TELO members were attacked.
A house was set on fire in Kalwiyankatu (where Srisabaratnum was) by LTTE.

After killing thousands of people, killing hundreds of their own Tamils,
is the LTTE still talking about human rights?
LTTE  killed all the other Tamil leaders.
They killed Amirtalingam.
They killed Srisabaratnum
they killed Pathmanaba and other EPRLF leaders.they killed Sam thambimuttu.

and still talking about Tamil's freedom and Human rights.
**
NOTE: Eventhough LTTE denied the murder of Amirthalingam soon after the killing
they claimed responsibility for that in Colombo ,in February this year.
