Barry Artiste Op/Ed

One wonders what possess those to mass kill civilians when carrying out killings of their intended victim.

Cowardice of course enters into it, when Mano O Mano is lost on those who are too chickenshit to face down an enemy, preferring to do it covertly, and while they are at it, why not take out some children, after all the more dead the merrier.

On an unrelated topic it seems Terrorism in other parts of the world has to also apply to the West who must uphold the Geneva Convention of War, yet the enemy certainly Poo Poo that aspect of it when Suicide Bombing and decapitating innocents, or until they are caught, then all of a sudden they remember the Geneva Convention and spout it incessantly, in an effort to save their sorry and cowardly asses!

Both sides in this conflict inflict horrific abuses towards each other, and the west is best left out of it, cause damned if you do, and damned if you don't interfere!

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka -- A suspected rebel suicide bomber killed 20 soldiers and eight civilians when she blew herself up Monday at a facility where government forces were processing Sri Lankans fleeing the northern war zone, the military said.

The bombing was the first major suicide attack in Sri Lanka in more than a month and led to fears the Tamil Tiger separatists -- boxed in by the military and on the verge of defeat -- will increasingly turn to guerrilla warfare in their battle against government forces.

Incredible, I think 'Forest Jihad' has already happened in the US and now in Australia.

And as a side story, thousands of these children have been used, Abused, in creating them suicide bombers in Sri Lanka. Wow, thousands!

Good post and it is sad that these civilian's escaped from terror and they were again trapped by terror. LTTE ( Liberation Tamil Tigers of Elam ) should be cowardly attacked these types of attacks various time and it is always the innocent people pay there life. This should be end and the present humanitarian mission makes so much uncovered stories to the Sri Lankans as well as the world. It is not government of Sri Lanka violated or kills any innocents in this areas. LTTE kills or shells and show to the world about to make them misunderstand the Sri Lanka and it s people. This theory is too old now and they have no other options rather continues there babaric way. International community must speack more about these trapped innocent civilians and pressure the LTTE to keep them as a human sheild and fireing and killing them when they want to escape from them.
