The Sri Lankan army killed about 7000 innocent tamil civilians in 4 months and wounded 13.000 ppl including many children.

Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa Wednesday said only 15,000 to 20,000 civilians remain in the strip of the so-called safety zone. Earlier, Rajapaksa and his war allies in India were insisting on a total figure of only 70,000 in the safety zone. However on Wednesday Rajapaksa put the number of captured civilians alone at 180,000.

Another example of the sri Lankan intelligence information. Army just don't care about the civilians. In order to kill a LTTE they kill hunderds of Tamils.
