At least 28 people including 8 civilians were killed and 64 others including 40 civilians reported injured when an LTTE woman suicide bomber blew herself at an IDP rescue centre, North of Visuamadu in Mullaittivu this morning (Feb 9) at around 11.30 a.m. 3 woman soldiers were also among the military fatalities reported.
According to defence observers, LTTE terrorists have perpetrated the attack targeting the civilians in reprisal, for defying LTTE's orders to take-up arms. Exact casualty figures are yet to be estimated as tension prevails in the area. Security forces immediately cordon off the area, while medical units were rushed to the site, the sources said. Women and children are said to be among the many reported killed and injured in the suicide bomb blast, security sources said. Ambulances carried the wounded to the Kilinochchi hospital.
The female suicide bomber had arrived among the civilians who were seeking protection with security forces in guise. The bomber had blown herself before being screened, the reports further said.
According to them, the LTTE in the face of an inevitable defeat is trying to score levels with the innocent civilians. On Sunday(8), a group of civilians escaping from the LTTE hellholes North of Visuamadu and Sugandirapuram have ramped an LTTE barricade assaulting a LTTE 'police' cadre and killing two female terrorists in the cause. Similarly civilians, who were forcibly armed and sent to the forefront by LTTE, have taken on the less numbered LTTE cadres beating the terrorists and tying them behind, on 7th February. The civilians had later managed to flee towards the security forces controlled area, the sources further said.
Earlier, LTTE terrorists used a 13 year old child suicide bomber against the advancing 55 Division troops in Chalai on 4th Feb. Observers of LTTE activity have expressed concerns over the likelihood of the LTTE increasing such attacks targeting civilians to enact a large scale carnage instilling fear among the people who are entrapped in the non-liberated regions in Mullaittivu.
LTTE is a ruthless terrorist outfit that has been fighting for a mono ethnic separate homeland for the Tamils in Sri Lanka since 1983. During its 3 decades of existence the outfit has pioneered a large number of terror tactics particularly in the field of suicide bombing, that have been soon copied by the other terror organizations in the world. Fuelled by extremist tribal ideologies held by their megalomaniac leader, V. Prabhakaran, and largely foreign funds generated through its false propaganda, LTTE terrorists have killed tens and thousands of innocent civilians in many village massacres, bus bombings, train bombings, ethnic cleansing raids, and etc. The outfit is also included in the UN list of shame for using children for terror attacks.

All of a sudden, the 'genocide' feels like its by the L.T.T.E. on its own people... or is it just me...?
at 09:12 on February 9th, 2009
Isuru,
I for one am disgusted with how people can toss comments like "sri lankan army handles civilians in a heavy handed way, blah blah...." here and there, at the same time saying "LTTE are being portrayed as not freedom fighters but terrorists by the Sri Lankan Governmeent..." without even doing their RESEARCH properly about what they are talking about !!!!!!!
What the hell? SL govt portrays this bloodthirsty gang as terrorists although they are actually freedom fighters? Who can say such crap when the above happens? This is just one instance of this same story happening over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over............again and WOW we are still undecided about what they should be called?
PATHETIC is an understatement.
Western world helped nurture this serpent and they still have not given up !!!
at 09:09 on February 9th, 2009
By the way, when I'm talking abt people's comments - I totally excluded any haters of Sri Lanka Army here.
at 12:35 on February 9th, 2009
Only you and your bogus propaganda team feel that way
at 09:10 on February 9th, 2009
lol
Sri Lanka started the propaganda again to blame on LTTE right after Bruce Fein filed the case in USA court.
As usual., Sri Lankan Army bombed the Tamil civilians and blamed on LTTE.
at 09:15 on February 9th, 2009
How much do you reckon Bruce Fein got paid out...? ;-)
And that was a very very serious question, the smiley was just to ease the pain when understanding the truth.
at 09:22 on February 9th, 2009
Double lol...
What Srilankan government in general and other Srilankan citizen in this forum particular are doing, is wrong.
Srilanka should sit quiet, doing nothing when all the LTTE Goebbels running amok all over the internet and other media. So should the Srilankan citizen.
Hold a mirror.....

Sri Lankan Army bombed the fled Tamil civilians and blamed on LTTE, Sri Lankan government banned independent journalist so no one can verify from out side.

The world doesn't need independent journalists to verify who blew up who... the rest of the IDPs that survived the blast will do that... Thank you very much for your absolutely useless input though.

Yes, indeed they are. So...? The only thing is, this propaganda is based on truth and it serves a purpose.
Its actually a little tiring to deal with your stupidity. Its probably best you shut up because everytime you say something, I'm going to counter that, and its going to make you look like an utter fool.
at 10:10 on February 9th, 2009
This is one of many Sri lankan bogus propaganda methods. They have bombed fled IDPs then forced the rest to say things they want to do bogus propaganda.
at 14:13 on February 9th, 2009
This is what I allways say "TkT", (Tamils kill Tamils) and sending the pictures arround the world.
at 17:08 on February 9th, 2009
Hey Fool!

...You people have no right to talk about the Tamils in Sri Lanka; I certainly don’t think Buddha would agree with you on who killed these “Tamil civilians”
at 18:54 on February 9th, 2009
I asked him... he agrees with me.
at 18:03 on February 9th, 2009
Is's typical case of the cheer-squads getting disoriented when the truth is uncovered. They are running around, stark naked, desparately trying to find something to cover their nakedness. One cannot help but to have pity on this ignorent blindfolded herd.
at 18:54 on February 9th, 2009
And they can't even use their pom poms to hide themselves...

That is the whole problem. Everybody is TOO BUSY looking at what's being said around the world. Everything is being decided on what's being said by everybody else BUT the people who are in the situation.
People of Sri Lanka are NEVER given a VOICE by the western media. Especially BBC !
at 20:00 on February 10th, 2009
Well Hiranya Malwatta
Now we can hear from the local people who had been held by the LTTE. The agony that they have to undergo because of the LTTE and how LTTE cheated them in a very broad way. Also in Sri Lanka Tamil Politicians has started to vice against the LTTE. If you have gone through the link it contain a independent undercover investigation done by none other then Western media. How these fraud Gang cheating the World. This is why LTTE is LABELED a Terrorist organization even by UK , USA , CANADA, INDIA, France and most of the countries who respect morality. http://canadatamils.wordpress.com/at 21:27 on February 11th, 2009
@ Sudarshana >
Thanks for that link. Looks like all western media are not like BBC.

Hiranya
Infact BBC was never independent, some of the people worked for BBC later got involved in LTTE propaganda IE Wasantha Raja. Please try to talk with the people who are coming from Wanni, they were put in to slavery by the LTTE. Also in those clips you can see how these well to do western Tamils had to pay huge amounts. Now this is not Sri Lanka its France so can you imagine the intensity of terrorism they carry on in Sri Lanka.Also I wont say that there is no problem with the SL Army but think what Indian Peace keeping force did having the third largest Army in the world. compare the intensity of war crimes by the two sides Armies.
I see LTTE is similar to JVP in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Sri Lanka they were crushed by the SL Government, now they say (What they say mite be a False) there in Democratic path. Anyway similar way this Terrorist LTTE need to dealt withat 19:10 on February 10th, 2009
Bogus propaganda from Sri lankan Government.
at 19:13 on February 10th, 2009
Please stop going around calling posts proaganda just because you don't agree with them.

* U.S. Treasury imposes sanctions on Tamil front organization striking a blow to LTTE
Feb 11 (CP) Washington, DC- The United States Department of Treasury today designated the Maryland-based Tamil Foundation as a front organization for the LTTE terrorist outfit of Sri Lanka under Executive Order 13224 which targets terrorists and those providing support to terrorists or acts of terrorism.
The Treasury Department announced that under the Executive Order, any assets the Tamil Foundation has under U.S. jurisdiction are frozen, and U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in any transactions with the Tamil Foundation.

This is to the Tamils who are talking on behalf of the LTTE.
You are doing a self genocide i guess, because LTTE is keeping your friends and relatives as a human shield int he unprotected area. So you should be ashamed of talking on behalf of your own killers. Please be realistic and lets join hands to save those innocent Tamil people who are laying their lives to LTTE cruelty. Talk for your friends and relatives, help them and after that as Sinhalese person I personally promise that Sinalese people will make a voice to give you Tamils a political solution which we badly need. There has been so many misunderstandings between us and it's the time to clear up all of those, but helping LTTE will not make it but kill all the remaining innocent Tamils.
Please don't participate in the sin of killing of own people. Look back and press LTTE to release them.
Hope everyone will think wise.
