Remains of Terror

A man who betrayed his own land and caused 30 years of terror, atrocities and untold misery on his fellow human beings suffered a fate well-deserving of his own making

The brain washing of innocent young in to “BLOOD THIRSTY SHOOTERS” destruction of life and property of generations of his own land bear testimony to the fate he suffered and what was finally left of him.

(Colombo-Lankapuvath-May 01) – LTTE in an arm struggle in the North has carried out a spate of killing Politicians, youth and civilians who are against their ideology and committed atrocities.

What is really happening in Sri Lanka today is that a blood thirsty racist group led by some misled Tamils called LTTE is terrorizing against the Government of Sri Lanka and its people irrespective of their ethnicity with an intention of carving out a separate state. There is no conflict as such between Sinhalese and Tamil communities in Sri Lanka. In fact, the majority of the Tamil community lives in peace and harmony among the Sinhalese population through out the country. Very soon there will be peace returning to the north like else where.

Here are some brutalities of LTTE during the month of May.
