LTTE trying to hold on through harassing technique

An LTTE video was released recently showing what seems to be a Mechanized Infantry-style attack. A few soldiers were killed in the attack at Puthukudiirippu and the LTTE is obviously making a huge deal out of it, as you can see in the video.

The video first shows what looks like a Chinese YW-531H (T-85), an older version of the T-89, which the SLA Mech Infantry Division uses extensively now. From external appearance the two units look similar except for the rear doors (3rd frame). Next, a mounted MPMG is shown (4th frame).

The following frames of the video show the tail of the attack and no actual combat is shown as in previous LTTE videos. Bodies of a few SLA soldiers are shown at a road-side checkpoint and a field unit established at a abandoned civilian house, which was obviously raided and taken by surprise by the armoured attack.

The T-85 is actually a former Army APC captured from Muhamalai a few years ago along with a T-55 MBT. In the attack the APC was subsequently destroyed in an RPG-7 HEAT attack and 13 tigers in it were incinerated.

The attempt is an example of the current situation in the Vanni where the Tigers are cornered into an area and the Army's advance has become highly complicated due to the human shield. The civilians have nowhere to run except into the hands of the Army, which was happening until the suicide attack.

Following the suicide attack, the flow of civilians has started to only trickle-in, whereas thousands, on one occasion as many as 6,000 civilians were reaching the Army almost on a daily basis prior to the attack. The attack was a message to civilians that the Tigers can still terrorize them. Although it killed 24 soldiers, the message is towards the civilians who will now fear harassment by the Army (regular checking, detention of suspects etc)

The Tigers strategy is to harass the Army from behind the civilian cover by raiding the Army FDL, particularly around Puthukudirippu. There is also a very strong indication that Velupillai Prabhakaran is still hiding in the remaining tiger territory. How long this trend will continue is an interesting question.

israel went for a ceasefire bcos the ground offensive was not going their way!!!

SL can last for years. TE cannot.

its the strength of 2,600 years verses 26 years. 20 million verses 100,000.

give up and surrender. (don't be misled now. surrender ALSO means DEATH)

Ananda-USA,

let me add that sri lankan state banks are very well run, rock solid & profitable.

they have a vast network & a solid investment base. no wonder ranil's govt. & his western cronies tried their level best to buy them for a song. the sly excuses were good governance, cost cutting, profitability etc.

today where are these foreign banks who tried to take over ours? they've taken investor money & eloped with executive bonuses in the millions. (while getting govt. bail outs into the bargain, ha ha ha!). the investors are left high & dry. they call it free enterprise.

i call it a free f***! ha ha ha!

even lalith kotalawala's seylan bank is on the rocks now.

he was a guy who continuously whined about bad governance by central bank & even sued the chairman ajith nivard cabraal personally for rs.150 million.

laith also placed full page ads in all the newspapers appealing to all christians not to vote for mahinda at the last presidential elections.

today lalith has to be bailed out by the same central bank. a joke.

but the guy's who lost their money ain't laughing. they almost assaulted lalith at the last court hearing. they were chanting "lalith hora" continuously from outside the courts.

lalith's executives were chased. they had to leave their cars & take a bus back to office.

so today without any doubt BOC, PB & NSB are some of the safest banks in the world. if not the safest.

Really Cold,

Can you explain how one can prove Nirvana using QM?

I am neither authority nor expert on either Buddhism or science but I can try to explain what learn from both. It is still a theory and you will have so many other questions arising from what I say from the moment, we start the dialogue.

The other factor is this forum is not a proper place to discuss complex scientific theories and classical Buddhism. If you have graduate level knowledge on Physics and Chemistry as well as fair knowledge of Abhidhamma, we can give it a try. However, unless others agree we may have to use private emails to do this.

Let me know if you agree with my suggestions.

This is a very immature statement. Scientists are very amazed by Buddhism. Buddhism is the ultimate truth and there can be nothing good for it.

Scientists are amazed by little things here and there. Not that they understand Buddhism properly. How do you know Buddhism is the ultimate truth? If you know that then you don’t need my help!

I am both and therefore can't ridicule either. Buddhism doesn't need any support. Tell me where it needs support?

I agree that Buddhism doesn’t need support but only about 250million are Buddhists. Even from that number only a minor percentage has proper knowledge about core teachings of Buddha.

Buddhism needs support to attract people who want to study and analyze Dharma.

Where do you think Science need support?

Science already got many things from Buddhism to support its usefulness in day to day life. If you want I can give evidence to support my statements.

[[[I agree that Buddhism doesn’t need support but only about 250million are Buddhists. Even from that number only a minor percentage has proper knowledge about core teachings of Buddha.]]]

if mahayana is counted the number goes up dramatically. specially the chinese govt. plays down the number of buddhists for obvious political reasons. it's supposed to be well over 500 million.

chinese communist party likes no competition. when u add japan, korea etc. it rises more.

[[[Science already got many things from Buddhism to support its usefulness in day to day life. If you want I can give evidence to support my statements.]]]

@ Really cold,

You also need good understanding of wave theory and force fields similar to gravitational and magnetic fields to understand mind models before you pursue intended study.

@ velu P,

Western countries already adopted part of our noble eight fold paths which is called (seela) morality. Any scientific or technical project need to furnish morality report for funding. Report should clearly show clear evidence for environmental impact, project ethics and benefit to humans to get funds for the project. These really part of noble eightfold paths as described in Buddhism.

Ariyasinghe counter attack to LTTE's dis-information at EU parliament



(Lanka-e-News, Feb. 12, 2009, 12.00 PM) Chairman Robert Evans, Members of the South Asia Delegation of the European Parliament, representatives of the European Council, European Commission and my fellow South Asians.

It is clear that the LTTE in Sri Lanka and its front organizations abroad, desperate in the face of impending military defeat, have over the past two weeks resorted to means unparalleled in recent times. This is not surprising.




What is surprising from some of the speeches we heard last Thursday at the discussion on "the situation in Sri Lanka" at the European Parliament's Strasbourg session, and also others here today, is how much many of you have been influenced by the dis-information spread by the LTTE and its cohorts, and keep repeating them.
Hence, while I have no illusion that I can alter the thinking of those who might have for the past 25 years or so fed off Sri Lanka's troubles, let me use this opportunity to appeal to the good sense of those of you who might be interested in reason, to underline the fallacy behind some of the main strands of the the dis-information spread by the LTTE, and to provide an update on the current situation in the cleared/uncleared area in Northern Sri Lanka.


DIS-INFORMATION SPREAD BY THE LTTE

1. Associated Press (AP) report - "300 civilians killed, 1,000 wounded in fighting"

If one is to pin-point the triggering off of this dis-information campaign, it is the report issued by the AP, which on 29 January 2009 in a story headlined "Sri Lankan health official says more than 300 civilians killed, 1,000 wounded in fighting", claimed that �Dr. Thurairajah Varatharajah, the top health official in the region, revealed the figures in a desperate appeal to the government and aid groups for medicine and blood transfusions for those injured in the fighting�. It said �the letter was dated Monday and obtained by the Associated Press on Wednesday".
(see report at Annex 1)

I am in possession of an advisory note to editors issued by the same AP the following day, advising editors to �kill� the story, noting:

"The Colombo, Sri Lanka, story BC-AS--Sri Lanka-Civil War, 3rd Ld, has been killed.
The source denies he wrote the letter that said more than 300 civilians had been killed and 1,000 wounded in fighting in northern Sri Lanka".

The advise went on to add;
A kill is mandatory
Make certain the story is not published,
A substitute story will be filed shortly. (see report at Annex 2)

As news cycles work, I am sure many of you would have read the original story, but hardly any heard of the AP's "killing" of the story, as for the Western media, that was not news. So in your minds "300 civilians killed, 1,000 wounded in fighting� remained.

2. UN charge that "Puthukkudiyiruppu Hospital was hit by cluster munitions"

Subsequently, on 4 February 2009, there was a charge by the United Nation's Colombo based spokesman Gordon Weiss that Puthukkudiyiruppu Hospital was hit by cluster munitions, which could cover large areas of land and some of the bomblets could remain unexploded for a long time and later harm civilians.

Sri Lanka categorically denied that it had neither fired cluster munitions nor it had ever bought cluster bombs into the country. Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said, "We don't have the facility to fire cluster munitions. We don't have these weapons."
The United Nations the same day apologized to the Government for their comments about the use of cluster bombs on the Pudukkudyirippu Government Hospital. A statement issued by UN's Colombo based spokesman Gordon Weiss has said they "accepted the Sri Lankan statement that it did not have any facility to fire cluster munitions". He has said the UN did not point a finger at the military, but "was going by what his staff on the ground said". The UN Resident Coordinator in Sri Lanka Neil Buhne extended a verbal apology for the comment made by its spokesman.

However the once again the damage was done.

3. ICRC allegations against the Government of Sri Lanka "for the plight faced by the patients and civilians in the uncleared areas of Mullaithivu"
In the 'Daily Mirror' of 7 February 2009, ICRC spokespersons have made allegations against GOSL for the plight faced by the patients and civilians in the uncleared areas of Mullaithivu, due to the risk involved as a result of the fighting between the LTTE and the security forces of the GOSL and the lack of medical and other supplies.

In a letter addressed to Mr Paul Castella , Head of Mission, ICRC- Sri Lanka the same day, Dr H A P Kahandaliyanage, Secretary - Ministry of Healthcare & Nutrition, draws attention to his communication with the ICRC with regard to evacuation of civilians, patients and medical staff of Puddukudiriappu , Udayarkattu , Vallipunam and Sudandirapuram hospitals. He notes "in my communication with you I have clearly mentioned that the patients and medical staff are willing to come over to the Government declared No Fire Zone or Vavuniya hospital and that the LTTE is preventing it and thus the Ministry of Healthcare and Nutrition requests the assistance of the ICRC in enabling these trapped patients and medical staff to reach the Government declared No Fire Zone or Killinochchi or Vavuniya. But the ICRC on their own decided that they should go to Puthumattalam, which is away from the desired safe area in Vavuniya." The letter further states, "Had you heeded to the request made by me to move these civilians, patients and medical staff west, towards the Security Forces who were waiting , ready to receive and take them to Vavuniya, the plight that these civilians, patients and medical staff are currently in, might have never occurred. Therefore the responsibility for this plight lies solely with the ICRC for having deviated from the best possible route arranged by the government for evacuating the patients and medical staff from Puddukudiriappu".

These three instances I have documented underlines the extent of the dis-information network the LTTE has built and continues to use. It is unfortunate that knowingly or callously without verification, by spreading blatant falsehoods about the situation in the operational area conscious of the damage it could cause, some journalists, as well as Spokespersons of UN Agencies and INGOs, appear intent to hide the true situation when commenting on the plight of civilians in the Wanni.

I have seen little written by the same persons/agencies drawing attention to;
- the well known practice of the LTTE�s continued holding of the civilian population as �human shields�

- the LTTE terrorists deployment of artillery batteries, heavy mortars and satellite bases within the �safety zones� demarcated by the Government

- that failing in its efforts at drawing retaliation upon these 'safety zones', in recent days the LTTE�s despicable tactic of using its suicide cadres/firing to cause death and disruption within the 'safety zones' and on those Tamil civilians trying to flee the LTTE dominated areas. Several such instances have now been well established;

a) On 4 February, the LTTE sent a 14-year-old girl with explosives strapped to her body and blasted her near the advancing 55 Division troops in Chalai.

b) In another incident on 4th February one lorry was filled with explosives, accompanied by two other lorry loads of civilians, and the explosives detonated.

c) On Monday 9 February, a female suicide bomber who had come with around 1,000 displaced civilians from the uncleared areas of Mullaitivu to the 'safety zone', had blown herself up when a woman soldier had tried to body check her at a checkpoint prior to being taken to a transit welfare centre where persons were being registered at an IDP rescue centre, North of Visuamadu in Mullativu, killing 30 people and injuring more than 75 others including 11 children and 31 females.

d) The shooting by the LTTE on Tuesday 10 February 2009 upon a group of civilians trying to flee LTTE captivity in Puthukkuduiruppu in Mullativu, killing 19 civilians and injuring 69. 11 children and 31 females were among the injured.

It is un-mistakable that these acts are reprisals against Tamil civilians for defying the LTTE orders, as well as possibly a desperate attempt to trigger a ethnic backlash.

While the US Government promptly condemned the suicide attack, acknowledging that it as an "apparent effort by the LTTE to discourage Tamils from leaving the conflict area killed and wounded many Tamil civilians", and the UN too "expressed its strong condemnation on Monday's suicide attack", I note a silence from the European Union, which in some quarters, as I heard in Strasbourg last week, wants GOSL to talk to the LTTE.

CURRENT SITUATION IN THE CLEARED/UNCLEARED AREA

1. Status of affected civilians within and outside the un-cleared area

It must be noted that 98% of the area dominated by the LTTE in the Northern and Eastern Provinces as at November 2005, has now been cleared and as at 11 February only about 100 square kilometers North of Mullativu remains to be cleared. 40% of this area has been demarcated as a 'safety zone' throughout the period of conflict.

Contrary to allegations that over a quarter of a million (250,000) people are trapped in the uncleared areas, according to the Government Agent of Mullaitivu the number is considered to be around 110,000.

This is not new. In early 2007 as the Sri Lanka security forces were nearing completion of military operations to clear the entire Eastern province of the LTTE presence, some UN agencies, and many INGOs parroted LTTE propaganda lines that half a million persons (500,000) were displaced by the operation. However, when the final count was taken, the government and the UN agencies agreed that the number displaced during the period was that 187,000, of which 80% were re-settled in their original homes within 6 months.

It is also noteworthy that despite the conflict, supplies to the uncleared areas have been sent at regular intervals, most recently on 29 January, when 180 tons of food and other essentials was sent. While the GA/Mullativu has confirmed that there are sufficient stocks of food supplies to feed the remaining population in the uncleared areas for the present, currently, a convoy of 40 lorries of supplies are ready to move into the un-cleared areas, but the WFP has upto now been unable to negotiate with the LTTE for the further delivery of supplies. Meanwhile the Air Force today (11 February 2009) airlifted 20,000 packets of food parcels to be distributed among IDPs in Paranthan, which is north of the uncleared area.

2. Surge in civilians leaving the conflict zone
It is a fact that in launching the current operations, GOSL took swift measures to establish "safe corridors" in order that civilians in the uncleared areas could relocate to welfare villages located in safe ground.

Repeated appeals to the LTTE, "to let the people go", have been made particularly since December 2008 by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the Bishop of Jaffna Thomas Savundranayagam, the Government of India, the UN Secretary General, and the Co-Chairs of the Tokyo Donor Conference (The United States, European Union, Japan and Norway), as well as a number of INGOs. In its statement issued 3 February 2009, the Co-Chairs, (see Annex

3) which includes the EU, urged the LTTE (a listed terrorist entity within the European Union), to consider surrendering to avoid more deaths, including among thousands of civilians trapped in the war zone. "There remains probably only a short period of time before the LTTE loses control of all areas in the north," they said in a joint statement.

By the shooting of civilians fleeing their clutches and detonation of human bombs inside security zones, that the LTTE defied these requests, is now well established. But I am glad to be able to report to you, that braving the threats by the LTTE, in recent days there has been a surge of civilians leaving the conflict zone. It is estimated that 6500 civilians had arrived at Visuamadu, Dharmapuram and Sugandirapuram on 9 February alone, bringing the number of civilians that have moved to the cleared areas to 32,000 as of February 10. They have indeed voted with their feet.

3. Establishment of Welfare Villages
Currently the IDPs are housed in seven schools in Vavuniya. The Government is taking measures to expedite the establishment of fully equipped and functional welfare villages in three separate locations Ramanathan Suthanthirapuram, Arunachalam Viduthalaipuram and Kadirgamar EluchiNagar, in consultation with UN agencies and INGOs, to accommodate the IDPs until they can return to their place of origin with safety and dignity. For this purpose, 900 acres of land has been identified. It is proposed to construct 32,400 houses in these three villages, each of which will be allocated 270 acres. In the interim, as of 9 February 2009, 350 families have already been settled in the Menik Farm Welfare Centre in Vavuniya. The Ministry of Health has sent a medical team comprising 10 specialists and 110 nurses , in addition to emergency medical units sent previously, to meet the needs of displaced civilians.

4. Political Settlement

Let there be no doubt, that the Government was compelled to engage in a military operation to defeat terrorism in Sri Lanka, only due to the intransigence shown by the LTTE during 5 phases of peace negotiations with successive governments of Sri Lanka from 1985 to 2006, including that of President Mahinda Rajapaksa. Whilst the Government believes that the ultimate solution to the present conflict is political, it is confident that defeating the terrorists militarily is essential to creating an environment where a political solution can be found, as it provides the opportunity for a serious and meaningful dialogue with a number of moderate Tamil politicians, devoid of their being under pressure from the LTTE. In this quest, let me assure you that President Rajapaksa is committed to move as quickly as possible to implement the 13th Amendment to the Sri Lankan Constitution, which followed the Indo-Sri Lanka Agreement of 1987 and as recently indicated to the visiting Indian Foreign Minister, even to explore the possibility of going further than the existing provisions.

Conclusion

From the above, it would be clear to members, that while completing its military operations to defeat terrorism, GOSL is deeply mindful and are fully addressing the needs of those temporarily displaced, while at the same time intent on using this moment to forge ahead in evolving a political settlement with all democratic forces in Sri Lanka.

It is in such context that GOSL appeals to members of the European Parliament, to support efforts to bring an end to this conflict, prevent the LTTE seeking safe-heaven in Europe through its numerous front organizations and to support the restoration of normalcy in the areas regained.

To do so, it is imperative that members begin viewing developments in Sri Lanka within
'a post-LTTE paradigm', that supports democratic forces of the Tamil community � both in Sri Lanka and within the diaspora, who are keen on re-building the country. Doing otherwise for sheer electoral or any other gain, would not only be a set back to the rare success a country has achieved in militarily defeating a terrorist organization - the LTTE, an organization the FBI has referred to as "among the most dangerous and deadly extremists in the world�, but also run the risk of allowing this cancer of terrorism to spread within European society, where Tamil children and youth are being indoctrinated and terrorism and martyrdom glorified, while members of the LTTE through their front organizations could use their expertise in money laundering, human smuggling and gun running possibly to support other terrorist groups as well.

I thank you.

@Veeran,

First, make sure you get your visa extended, since it can go expired and will not be renewed since the war will be over in SL soon. You might also have to come up with a more creative story to the authorities this time, sorry.

Later, if you can continue living on abroad, then try your dreams on Diaspora movement against "Ceylon" :) cheers

Veeran said...

Response is not valid, based on unsubstianted conclusion that a Pro GOSL faction was involved in Sirasa attach and Lasantha Wickramatunga murder. Were you an eye witness to these events???


A Dead Man's Last accusations Holds water in any Genuine Democratic Society. Knew how he Slapped ur GOSL face by accusing them of Murder ?


On the other hand. AP killed a story floated by the Pro LTTE media terrorists, Amnesty [for LTTE terrorists] International withdrew a piece alleging the SLDF used cluster bombs etc.


Ask UN Spokesman for the news.
If it is not CLuster Bomb, is it good to Bomb Hospital ?

Veeran said...

These Sinhala Bstds aer taking out their Frustration on me in not able to close the War as tehy wish.

This Move of mving the socalled safe zone deeper into Eelam indicate several things.

1. Coastal arms delivery is very much controlled by tigers.

2. 55 & 59 are very much weakened in making offensive now.

3. Genocide of tamils & aerial Bombardment of Tamils will continue non stop.

Even teh Move of banning Tamil Foundation asset is a Carrot for Sinhala mOdayans. Now will come the Big Stick from Obama.

Last time after they banned TRO, they also froze 500 MILLION USD of free aid grant to Srilana.

US: THE US Department of Treasury, giving one more international blow to the terror outfit under Executive Order 13224 on Wednesday (11) froze assets of the MARYLAND based Tamil Foundation, confirmed to be another pro-LTTE front organization.

Assets of the Tamils Rehabilitation Organization (TRO), the leading front for LTTE were also frozen in the year 2007.



Under Executive Order 13224, all assets belonging to the Tamil Foundation is therefore frozen under US jurisdiction and all US persons are prohibited from engaging in any transaction with the organization, it was announced.

Of cause people need support.
Buddhist philosophy is a completed project about 2500 years ago. There is nothing to be added to it. Obviously most people are not getting it. There are some who gets it really well.

On the other hand, Science needs lot of support. The theories are being revised every day. It is an open ended project and will go on forever or until people realize that they should have followed Buddhism :)

[ You also need good understanding of wave theory and force fields similar to gravitational and magnetic fields to understand mind models before you pursue intended study.]


I know how to separate CRAP from reality. Please stick to things you know. It was very foolish for you to make the first statement above and then try to cover it up using some BS.

Science is objective. Do you know what that mean?

If you can't explain that to me, what is the value of your theory?

Again, theories are theory. Until it is proven, they will remained to be someone's creative thinking.

Are you from this New Kalaniya University tradition inspired by Dr. Nalin de Silva?

I remember seeing some of their quantum equations explaining things.

Only way to prove Nirvana to go there by themselves. According to Buddhism, nothing in it is a theory. They are facts.

Antidote said...

The saviours or liberators are supposed to make every possible attempt to save their lot. They would NEVER put their people in harms way, let alone intentionally hurting them. But what do the Tigers do to those they purport to protect? They kill them!

Manoharan Mahendran said, residents of Vishwamadu village begged to be allowed to cross into government territory last week, but the separatist Tigers blocked their path and fired indiscriminately. "People were helpless," 53-year-old Mahendran told The Associated Press on Wednesday in a rare firsthand account, recalling the panicked exodus.

"When we tried to escape with civilians, LTTE fired at me. I got shot in my leg," Sister Louise, a Catholic nun who tried to steer civilians away from the fighting, said on Thursday - Al Jazeera, 12 Feb 2009.


Tigers don’t want civilians to leave because they (Tigers) are now cornered and think that the only way they could save their skin is by having these people around them. They really don’t give rat’s ….. about the well being of the civilians. That fact is crystal clear to everyone except to those who are brainwashed to such an extent that logical thoughts escape them.

MathaMathica said...

ReallyCold,

Any concept (Matha - which makes me a Matha Mathica) is of zero value till it is understood by the people concerned.

No two person have the same perception of any object – all perceptions depend on the history of the perceiver and the conditions under which one perceives. For the 6 billion individuals on earth, there are 6 billion versions of Buddhism, and those version keeps on changing day by day, year by year ! !.

Argon, Oxygen or Uranium behaves differently on the surface of earth and on the surface of the Sun.

So, it helps to support Buddhist philosophy by timely and sane discussions etc.

It applies to the science also. It is necessary to explain to our scientists that the key concept in science is modelling and no scientific model is perfect. If Australia has a real scientific attitude there will be no bush fire. Same applies to California, pollution and what not.

Science is a process of discovery. Vertically the process goes from Quantum to Knowledge to Wisdom, where Quantum is in the bottom. Most of the 'scientists' as we identify them as go horizontally on the Quantum Axis. Some focus on the Knowledge Level, but very few practice on the 'Wisdom' level. Teachings of the core Buddhism focus upward on the Wisdom level. As you have mentioned, it is an already completed project, and the process of achieving the same results of the project is already documented. Anyone can follow that process if he/she has the will and can achieve the same results that Buddha achieved.

ha ha.... What a shame to ICRC. These are the guys who work for ICRC. Very very moderate ha ha...

sanercomic said...

THE Associated Press (AP), in a personal note of apology, tendered to Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka, Commander of the Army over their publication of a series of misleading photo captions after a recent tour to Mullaittivu, assures that such unintentional mistakes would not be repeated since it is a violation of AP’s reporting standards.

The AP on 27th January 2009 in a series of Mullaittivu photos carried inaccurate, false and misleading captions saying “Army artillery shells fired into a Safe Zone killed scores of civilians and injured at least 300 more” and “Sri Lankan military shelled a hospital and a village inside the Safe Zone”. However, the AP later retracted those captions.

Here is the full text of the apology, sent by Colombo’s AP Bureau Chief Mr. Ravi Nessman to the Commander of the Army on 29th January 2009.

“Dear Gen. Fonseka,

I would like to apologize for a series of photo captions that were filed in error under photographs taken by Associated Press photographer Gemunu Amarasinghe from Mullaittivu and to explain how the situation occurred.

Mr. Amarasinghe, who you graciously allowed to take part in the media facility to the north, quickly filed the photos along with brief captions explaining what was in each picture to our photo desk in New Delhi from Anuradhapura air base as we waited for the plane to take us back to Colombo. The photo editors in New Delhi, on their own initiative, added a second sentence to the caption carrying the claim that more than 300 civilians have been wounded and scores killed in the fighting. They did not put the Army denial in there. That appears to be a violation of AP’s reporting standards, which require us to present both sides to any story. In addition, that sentence did not bear any relation to the scenes depicted in the photos.

Unfortunately, neither Mr. Amarasinghe nor I knew this was occurring in New Delhi. On Wednesday, military spokesman, Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara called us and immediately demanded the mistake be corrected. That was the first time we were made aware of the situation. As the brigadier I’m sure will confirm, we immediately took action. We called our photo editors in Delhi and our photo desk in Tokyo and they immediately reissued all the photos with a new caption including the Army’s side of the story. I then informed Brig. Nanayakkara of our actions. In addition, we then sent an e-mail to all our photo editors and to all our text editors across Asia telling them that the conflict situation here was sensitive and they need to be extra careful to avoid any such mistakes in the future.

I would like to personally apologize for this error. While we cannot undue the damage done, know that it was an unintentional mistake that we intend not to make again.

Thank you for your understanding,”

There was genocide in Sri Lanka since "83. It was started by the Diaspora by abandoning their homeland thus reducing the number of Tamils in Sri Lanka and financing and prolonging the Liberation Struggle when they knew that Eelam cannot be archived during this round of their struggle.

Far more Tamils died in this struggle than Sinhalese.

When we take a censes after this war the percentage of Tamils will be much lover than what it was before the riots of 83 and the majority will be living in Traditional Sinhala areas so they will loose the ability to claim Eelam.

Catholic nun claims shot at by LTTE, while evacuating sick people
(By: Walter Jayawardhana)

Quoting a Catholic nun who was trying to evacuate sick people in a non-liberated village in the Mullaittivu District in Northern Sri Lanka, Al Jazeera television channel reported that LTTE terrorists shot at the sick people in a bid to stop them from leaving.

"When we tried to escape with civilians, LTTE fired at me. I got shot in my leg," sister Louise, a Catholic nun who tried to steer civilians away from the fighting, from Puttumatalan village was quoted having said on January 12.

Al Jazeera further said that the LTTE terrorists have shot at injured civilians fleeing fighting in Sri Lanka's northern war zone, quoting other witnesses who have escaped the island.

India shifts stand on Sri Lanka
A Correspondent in Delhi | February 12, 2009 19:48 IST

India has mended its stand on Sri Lanka [Images], no longer insisting that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam should lay down arms as a pre-condition for talks with the government in Colombo for a political settlement.

Instead of asking the LTTE [Images] to lay down the arms, India now wants it to at least agree in principle to lay down the arms as that can pave the way for negotiations with the Sri Lankan government.

The subtle change in India's stand was reflected in President Pratibha Patil's address to Parliament in New Delhi [Images] on Thursday when she said both the sides can return to the negotiating table if simultaneously the government of Sri Lanka suspends its military operations and the LTTE declares its willingness to lay down arms.

The Dravida Munnetra Kazagam and other political parties have been protesting at what they see as the government of India taking the side of the Sri Lankan government in asking the LTTE to first lay down the arms before any negotiations.

Notwithstanding the government changing this stand, two Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazagam Members of Parliament -- Krishnan and Ravindran -- interrupted the President's address to protest at India not pressurising the Lankan government to stop the massacre of the Tamils in the island nation, as they say that just expressing concern over the plight of the civilian Tamils was not enough.

The Tamil Nadu parties have been demanding that the government of India should intervene to put in check the Sri Lankan government's killing the innocent Tamils. They advocate that India should even intervene militarily if the killings of Tamils does not stop.

On Friday, the MDMK supremo Vaiko is staging a day's fast in Delhi at Jantar Mantar, to highlight the plight of the Tamils suffering at the ends of the Sri Lankan government and demand India's effective intervention.

The fast will be joined by over 1,000 MDMK officials and cadres arriving in New Delhi from Tamil Nadu to join their leader in expressing solidarity towards the Sri Lankan Tamils.

SF the Chess Genius does it again. The man is absolutely brilliant. The capacity to go with the wind like leaves and to come together in a new form is pure "Buddhism"!

Moshe and others,
I am replying to one of your earlier posts about 're-birth'. You hit the nail on the head of the weak point in popular "Buddhist" discourse. Rebirth is in fact a South Indian concept which has been adapted by "Buddhists". It is crap from a free-standing intellectuals point of view. It directly contradicts Gautama's concepts of anatta, Nirvana and Shunya.

Moshe, I would recommend a delightful little book by one of your compatriots (heh heh) Mark Epstein:

"Psychotherapy without the self- a buddhist perspective".

The move by the SLA to establish the "No Fire Zone" is smart. 1st NFZ had 2 main objectives among the others;
1. Move the civillians away from the SLA's main target PTK
2. Ensure that civillinas have more than one escape route

Although many civillians managed to escape in to governmnt controlled areas within the past few weeks, the numbers dropped drastically with the LTTE taking a more violent approach to stop them.
Battles for PTK also got bloody with the LTTE throwing everything they had at the Troops and SLA progress was slow.

Short sighted LTTE, with the hope of stopping the civillians from escaping, pushed them furhter eastwards.
This however paved the way for the SLA to take advantage of the situation and make their next strategic move by establising the 2nd NFZ on the eastern coast.

The main objective is not to rescue the civillians by sea, but to capture the remaining land areas under the LTTE. The General now has enough access routes to launch attacks on remaining LTTE strong points, with a free hand.

LTTE managed to use the civillian factor to its advantage for too long by delaying the forward march of the troops. Finally, the battle planners thought, enough is enough and the LTTE should not be allowed to exploit the civillian factor anymore.

Any civillians still in the previous NFZ, better be moved to the new NFZ...
because SLA is not going to stop at any cost now!!! It's dirty game, LTTE started it...

As stated below I am a former LTTE intelligence wing cadre who broke ranks with the group in 2004 and currently operates independently from Colombo, Sri Lanka. I have been working on this paper since winter 2006 and decided to post on a blog since I saw an attempt by LTTE to circulate a false propaganda that internally displaced people in northern Sri Lanka are being sent to “internment camps” or as described on their own words as “concentration camps”.

But the truth is that the Sri Lankan Government has planned to open five welfare villages to house Tamils fleeing the last 100 square kilometers patch of jungle where the army has pinned down the remaining LTTE cadres who try to infiltrate liberated areas disguised as civilians. Therfore the security has to be paramount and it was the only way to prevent LTTE suicide attacks like the one that killed 20 soldiers and eight civilians on February 10, 2009. It is against this backdrop I have decided to publish this blog in order to disseminate the structure of the LTTE suicide killer squad known as the "LTTE Intelligence Wing" to the world.
