Sri Lanka Army bulldozes Heroes` Cemetery in Trincomalee - Elilan
Thursday, 30 November 2006 - 4:39 AM SL Time

Sri Lanka Army has bulldozed the Alankulam Heroes` Cemetery in Muthur East, on November 25, said LTTE`s Trincomalee District Political Head, S. Elian Wednesday. `Sri Lankan military has once again desecrated a war cemetery. No military in the civilized world, would engage in a such act,` charged Mr. Elilan.

Headstones were bulldozed away and the resting place was destroyed by the military two days ahead of Heroes Day, he further said.

All the civilians have fled the area towards Vaharai following SLA offensive towards Sampoor and Muthur East.

Alankulam Heroes` Cemetery, the district`s largest Heroes Cemetery where memorial stone of Major Ganesh, a senior LTTE commander who died in a battle with the SLA in 1986 and the tomb of Lt. Col. Kunchan, one of the commanders to die recently were located in Alankulam in Muthur East.

In 1995, the Sri Lanka Army destroyed three Heroes` Cemetaries, located in Kopay in Valikamam, Kodikamam in Thenmaradchi and in Ellankulam in Vadamaradchi. These were re-built following the February 2002 Ceasefire Agreement.

SLDF only brave against head stones, cows, trees and Indian fishing trawlers, when it comes to real LTTE, they run away like little girls if they're not already dead hehe

Better put to some good use, these valuable lands than burying rotting corpses.

Thank you. Actually I am, Sri Lankan troops are not the ones, who started this sort of bulling so now why the good old goat we should ask them to stop, it is not a balanced thing to do isn't it? Let them at least square the things and then we'll see.

On the other hand probably Sinhalese would be the only race that has given due respect to even the enemy. Example is from the Mahavamsa, enemy was Elara. King Dutugamuna built a Stupa in Elara's honour and had strict commands to honour it by all people. But to receive shuch an honour (being an enemy) the enemy needs to be of worth. LTTE and its hooligans are nothing but a bunch lunatic thugs, cold blodded murderrers and liers.

Excuse me? When did the LTTE ever bulldoze SLA cemetaries? First of all you don't have any cemtaries in the NE?

Its just quite low, no other army in the world has done as much, even at the hight of WW II the dead from either side were respected.

But this is why as VP said there is no more talking with animals, wild animals only need to be culled. So sensible sinhala people can take over.

If you implied that they should desecrate another tomb to even things, you should be joking, no Tamil in his right mind will advocate that.

I have no objections to blasting a couple of SLA officers of the camp. :)

For me personally this is not done.
You need to respect the dead...whoever may be.
