Sri Lanka Tigers rebels deny firing at civilians

Escape one hell hole and enter another! Welsome to the world of sri lankan tamils...

Also I must say, I don't believe anything that comes out of either forces' mouths, because at the moment, it's a game of who wins the most sympathy/who gets the most blame on an international level. I must say, I was under the impression that a lot of Tamils supported ltte because of fear of expressing any support for any other movements. However, having watched a Tamil TV channel, I was shocked at the response to one man questioning whether ltte could have carried out these murders. Three others jumped down his throat because they were so offended. Is it so wrong to question something? To doubt ltte? Has nobody else been affected negatively by the ltte? Like I mentioned before, a family member was shot dead in broad daylight leaving my hubby a fatherless boy at 12, by the ltte who later apologised that it was a mistaken identity. The dead cannot be brought back to life by a simple apology. Has no Tamil on this website been affected by the ltte? Because I'm very surprised at the reaction you get if you say something negative about the ltte. People agree with the root cause of why the ltte was formed in the first place (we know all about that, not going into it deep), but are many people blind to many sufferings ltte has caused? I know that  Tamils will never forget the sufferings under the hands of  government forces and can understand the hatred they have for them. But also consider the sufferings ltte has caused. Many people may deny it ever happened, but shooting innocent Sinhalese civilians in a bus one by one, is that the act of heroes? I know it's the older leaders who are to blame. The younger ones are brainwashed and do what the leaders tell them to. I would blame the leaders for the atrocities, the younger ones are made to believe that they are purely fighting for their people. Because, my cousin who died as an ltte was certainly not an evil girl. She was in the days that I knew her, a really sweet and innocent girl, she was brainwashed. She always said that she was fighting for the people. Numerous opportunies to get her out of ltte failed. I know she never would have harmed innocent civilians, just the sla. You've got the bad who are willing to carry out atrocities and you've got the not so bad who would only fight their enemies. I guess many tamils have relatives who died or belong to the ltte and won't hear anything bad said about them. A distinction must be made between the evil and the good. But its important to understand that evil in the form of leaders takes control and causes sufferings. I could say the same about sla. But please respect each others' opinions instead of biting back.
