'Victimizing Civilians' LTTE's latest strategy

The LTTE has stepped-up into a futile but yet a well furnished terrorist strategy of ruthlessness against humanity, targeting civilians at-will in the north and east tensed zones with utter disregard to basic norms of respect to non-combatants and civilians in a context of internal disturbance.

Reports quoting officials sources said that 44 civilians were brutally killed and over 51 seriously injured in the LTTE's latest escalation of violence claimed in separate incidents in Batticaloa, Ampara, Aralaganwila and Vavuniya since the 01st of April.

Defence sources claim that the LTTE is aiming to curve a situation of uncertainty among the general public, in the north and east, while tactically smothering the raging criticism from the majority Tamils in these areas.

The SL security forces were victorious over the LTTE, flushing the terrorists from the eastern frontier, once a major platform for forcible recruitment and training of child soldiers and suicide bombers. According to reliable sources the LTTE Vanni leadership has issued orders to flame a large civilian catastrophe in the tensed areas, in desperation attempting to focus an extra propaganda mileage in the shades of its deteriorating presence in the local and international Tamil community.

Statistics show that an average of just under four civilians being brutally killed by the terrorist outfit per day, since 01st of April.

The LTTE is a ruthless terror group who fights for a mono-ethnic separate homeland for the Tamil living in Sri Lanka since 1983. It has been the outfit's strategy since its inception to flush out Singhalese and Muslim people from North and East by bloody ethnic cleansing raids. Thousands of civilians, mostly women and children were perished in the most ruthless massacres during its 20 years of terror campaign.
