• Doctor says 20 people killed and 300 injured
Sri Lanka: 'What's happening there is another genocide like Rwanda
At least 20 people were killed and nearly 300 injured yesterday when a hospital in the last area of Sri Lanka held by the Tamil Tigers was shelled in what one doctor described as the worst day of bloodshed since the start of the military campaign.
The doctor, Thangamutha Sathiyamorthy, blamed the Sri Lankan army for firing shells that landed next to two health facilities in Putumattalan, on the northern end of the tiny strip of the Sri Lankan coastline where tens of thousands of civilians are trapped by the fighting. The military strenuously denied the allegation.
Sathiyamorthy said 22 people, including an 18-month-old child and a medical worker, were killed and 283 injured in the attack, which started soon after dawn yesterday. He described how he found dead and wounded civilians on the site of the first blasts, which occurred as about 500 people queued beside a mother and baby clinic to receive milk powder and food rations.

I know this doctor. He is a pro-LTTE activist for at least a decade. Please be careful when quoting information with fake pictures from unreliable websites like Tamilnet, which is governed by world most brutal terrorist organization banned in the world. Can we rely on the things expressed by a murderer?
Due to such articles of you, Sri Lankans who see the reality through eyewitness have lost the credibility of your reports.

So, Sathiyamoorthy is the last word on "Truth"?
I believe too that this Doctor (probably a fake MD issued byy the LTTE) is doctoring facts. He is safe because he merged with the normal population when the LTTE commenced running.
The name is noted. If there is such a person, it will be a matter of time before he is taken in to prove his story. Wonder whether he has a cyanide capsule around his neck too. (Daya Master did not use his.).
"500 people queued beside a mother and baby clinic to receive milk powder and food rations" - Sathiyamorthy the Doctoring Specialist
Who is supplying the milk powder and rations? Prabhakaran or Jayalalitha?? For the ignorant few, all this is supplied by the GOSL. You will be happy to hear that Prabhakaran and his boogers are also being fed by GOSL supplies. Fatten the pig before killing him.
