Military operations to target LTTE and not Tamils

[b]Military operations to target LTTE and not Tamils - President Mahinda[/b]

[b]Colombo, 27 April, (Asiantribune.com): [/b]President Mahinda Rajapakse briefed the Cabinet Day before yesterday and yesterday on the latest developments following the suicide bomb attack at the Army Headquarters. At both the Special Cabinet meetings he emphasized that the military operations were to target the LTTE positions which were firing on the Sri Lankan forces. He said that the Sri Lankan armed forces only were reacting to the attacks launched by the LTTE.

In particular, he repeatedly stated that instructions have been given to protect civilian lives. He told the Cabinet: "It is not the intention of the Security Forces to target the civilian non-combatants anywhere. This is not a war against the Tamil community," he said. "It is the duty of the government to protect Tamil civilians wherever they may be - north south, east or west. My duty is to protect my citizens whether they be Sinhalese,Tamils, Muslims, Borahs, Burghers, Parsees etc. "

A Cabinet Minister told the "Asian Tribune" that the President had taken great pains in his address to the nation to calm communal passions after the suicide bomber targeted the Army Commander. He has made an appeal to the Sinhalese community in particular not to fall prey to the LTTE tactic of provoking the Sinhalese to attack Tamils. The air strikes against the LTTE positions are also a move to allay the fears of all communities that he is ready to fight LTTE terrorism while protecting the Tamil community whereverthey may be.

[quote="john_robot"][quote="humanrights"]The Sri Lankan military has been involved in aerial bombardment of Tamil areas for years. The Trinco bombing is an extension of their practice which was on hold during the cease fire.

Nobody is silly to believe they are bombing rebel targets. We all know the Sri Lankan military kills innocent Tamils as a retaliatory attack. No wonder the Tamils want a separate country. How could they be loyal to a government which bombs its own citizens.

How much of the Tsunami aid has gone to the victims? Chandrika and her ministered pocketed most and the victims in Galle as well as the Tamil areas are still struggling.

Sri Lanka is so corrupt. Let's stop the terrorism perpetrated by the Sri Lankan government. The Government is the real terrorist. They will one day have to be sued for genocide of their citizens.[/quote]

Who is telling that Tamils want separate country?

Only LTTE is telling that . We all know that LTTE is a mass murderess terrorist origination. [b]They are a terrorist origination[/b]

We all know LTTE killed so many Tamil’s not only Tamils they killed so many innocent people including Sinhalese, Muslims,

Didn’t you read V.Anandasangaree’s letter to your so called one and only Tamil representative leader? if not read it

[quote="true.reporter"]Aerial bombing by GOSL killed many innocent civilians, including a [b]mother holding her child[/b].

.[/quote]
[b]The pre-meditated barbaric act to sacrifice not only her own life but the life of the unborn without its consent, is a new low the LTTE had reached.

Any person with right mind will agree with it.

Only the people with ulterior motives are capable of manipulating the desparate tamils to agree to simillar acts, yet have the oddasity to justify it.[/b]

[quote="indrajith"]The suicide bomber was actually a pregnant mother visiting the clinic for some time regularly like any other pregnant mother for tests.

Apparently she was in a advanced state of pregnancy and strapped her bombs on top of the belly and the unborn child.The bomb killed the woman her unborn child and many others.

This is a barbaric act of the highest order forcing a brainwahed pregnant woman to be a human bomb.Why ask other people to blow themselves up instead these LTTE leaders can ask their wives or children to get pregnant first and go blow themselves.

Better to practice what they preach with their own families.Good thing that these chaps don't believe in a religeon.
Hope what goes around comes around ASAP.Otherwise people will loose faith in both religeons.[/quote]

[quote="john_robot"][quote="dixon"][quote][size=150]I think this guy from Norway or something ? If you are living in Sri Lanka you will get to understand that Tamils living with Sinhalese peacefully, LTTE ( Terrorist origination just like Al-Qaeda ) 100% of Tamils peoples enemy that is why they killed so many Tamil peoples,.[/size][/quote]

So you must be living in Srilanka. No wonder you blame every one except yourself. Blame Tamils, blame Muslims, blame the Church, blame India, blame TULF, blame UNP, blame SLFP , blame JVP, blame JHU ,blame INDIA, blame NORWAY.
NOW BLAME SOMEONE LIVING IN NORWAY. No wonder the LTTE is able to penetrate the high security area in the army HQ! You are a great asset for LTTE. Continue blaming everyone in the world. Don't loose hope there are some more countries left in the world to bleme for our ills.!!!!![/quote]

I only blaming LTTE and its supporters
"LTTE is able to penetrate the high security area in the army HQ"

She was a pregnant (just another Mr. Hon, Prabakarans work) and that is why Army officers have not given much attention to her , because we treat humans as humans but you LTTE took that advantage,[/quote]

Good boy!
Now you are back to blaming LTTE. It is a slight improvement, but way to go

Good to hear this, thanks for the information Sukumaran.
Are they still looking ways to support the SL Government? I thought they have all the plans from 9/11!
But according to CNN, BBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, Sky, SUN, Al-Jseera etc (not just 'press reports')the US is struggling to conduct the IRAQ war!!!![/quote]
Mr Dixon if you don’t know the Iraqis are governing Iraq now, not the Americans.[/quote]

ONLY YOU and Mr.Bush are saying that. Even the Americans don't believe . But don't worry Iraqi's will be very happy to hear that.

Stop this kind of politically correct non-sense. The Tamils are in no mood to here these kind of BS. They are hearing these from 1983! Even sinhalese cannot put up with these BS

[quote]the nation to calm communal passions after the suicide bomber targeted the Army Commander. He has made an appeal to the Sinhalese community in particular not to fall prey to the LTTE tactic of provoking the Sinhalese to attack Tamils. [/quote]

So is he indirectly accepting that the sinhalese still are in 1983 mentality! We did not change as claimed?

[quote]But Tamil sources in Jaffna have revealed that the LTTE high command has already conferred honors posthumously on the relatives of the suicide bomber[/quote]

In another place in AT, the GOSL investigators(?) revealed tht she is from Vavuniya "She was a resident of Puvarasakulam at Vavuniya. She was 21 years old."
Which is true? Our Tamil sources or our GOSL?

[quote]"The dastardly attempt should awaken the politicians of South Asia that you cannot sup with a terrorist outfit, and it is suicidal to negotiate peace with such an organization," Janata party president Subramanian Swamy said.[/quote]
Lets wake-up our own GOSL before wakeing up south asia.

[quote]"The Sri Lankan government should win over the democratic majority of Tamils in the island by unilaterally announcing the adoption of a federal constitution to replace their present unitary and failed constitution," he said in a release here today[/quote]
Can we do that ? The ansewer lokks increasingly a NO.
Look at what MR/JVP/JHU saying. After all these years they went back to Unitary State concept.
[quote]Subramanian Swamy further added, India could cooperate with Sri Lanka to "eradicate the LTTE terrorist menace" [/quote]

Once he said that India should 'in-corporate' SL! About 20 years go he even said that Indian troops should go to SL and beat the GOSL army and annex SL with india!
Fortunatly this guy is considered a JOKER in Tamil Nadu. Just ask any Tamil from[/quote]

Do not alienate the IC further!!!

LTTE should take full responsibility for this! If LTTE is interested in the plight of the Tamils it should resume negotiation ASAP. Thus demonstrating to the IC its willingness for peace.

Do not alienate the IC further!!!
