Why these school girls from schools around the area are learning FirstAid when the War is looming. School girls have given even weapon training.

This is a LTTE training camp. they were training to be the Medical CORP people.

check www.defence.lk to see school girls going through weapon training.

May be counter propaganda by Tamilnet for the news that child soldiers killed in the battlefield.
What if Child solidiers undergoing training in a LTTE camp and got killed by the SLAF bombing?
Who is to be blamed? LTTE it self.

Blind Helaya and AnuD

Where did you learn this punnakku that these children are soldiers?

What if LTTE attacks a school in the south and call it a training camp, would you feel the same? You too have proved your colour beyond doubt, together with Ruwani, will make an excellent thuggery team to kill innocent civilians.

Once your forces start fighting the wrong battle, they will lose! Its common sense.

THE BARBARIC ACT THAT CLAIMED A CHERUB

COLOMBO: The last memory of her granddaughter John Rasiah would prefer to recall is that of a jovial cherubic child swinging her tiny legs from a high chair, her eyes twinkling with childish excitement at receiving a new pair of shoes. But the gory recollection of the scorched remains of the tiny figure at the roadside keeps tormenting his mind ever since last Tuesday.

'She was very happy when she came to see me that day because I had bought her a new pair of shoes. She insisted on wearing them right there and walking to the bus stop. I never imagined I would see her dead when she kissed me 'Good bye' before leaving with her mother,' a grieving Rasiah recalls.

Rasiah, an employee in a restaurant in Wellawatte is the grandfather of two and half year old Jegatheswaran Asvini who was brutally killed in Tuesday's LTTE bomb explosion in Milagiriya targeting ex-EPDP Parliamentarian S. Sivadasan.

Little Asvini was proudly waddling her way home in her new shoes with her mother when the bomb went off near St. Pauls College, Milagiriya killing her and two others.

Her tragic death has proved for the umpteenth time that terrorists have no regard for the age or race of their victims.

Asvini's mother John Sasida who was critically injured in the explosion is fighting death at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Colombo National Hospital ignorant of the most dreadful news any mother could hear.

'My daughter and son-in-law work as labourers in a house in Bambalapitiya. Since there was no one to take care of her, my daughter used to take the little one with her to work everyday. On finishing work they would always drop by the restaurant where my wife and I work and Asvini would play with me for a while,' Rasiah who was the best friend and playmate of little Asvini says.

He recalls how Asvini was filled with joy on that fatal day when she heard the good news that from Thursday her grandfather would be doing only night shifts. 'Then I can stay at home and play with you the whole day', were her final words.

Rasiah who has peacefully lived in Colombo among its Sinhala and Muslim communities for the past 18 years would never have imagined that her daughter and granddaughter would fall victim to the brutality perpetrated by a few people from his own brethren.

In fact, when we reached his poverty stricken house in Siddhartha Mawatha, Kirulapone, the Tamil and Sinhala residents of the area were unitedly putting up white flags to bid farewell to the little girl who used to run and play up and down the street.

A wailing S. Saroja, Asvini's grandmother who was also unfortunate enough to witness the incident said she was working at the restaurant when she heard the explosion.

'Asvini came to the restaurant that day to play with her grandfather and he gifted her a new pair of shoes. When I went to her she pointed to the shoes which she had already worn. I kissed her feet and said they were beautiful. We heard the explosion barely 10 minutes after they left'.

'My husband and I ran to the junction only to see her lying dead at the roadside. I could not bear to look at her scorched lifeless body. I ran back to the restaurant screaming like a mad woman'.

'We are innocent people who have not done any wrong to anyone. We have never caused harm to others or earned money by wrongful means. I cannot comprehend what I did to deserve this fate. I have lost my little daughter, and my wife is in hospital unconscious,' Asvini's father B. Jegatheswaran said overcome with emotion.

His eight year old son who is not old enough to realise the gravity of the situation is still waiting for the return of his mother and sister. Occasionally he cries when his father breaks down not knowing that the tiny casket in their house contains the remains of his little sister.

Two and half year old Asvini who was bubbling with life only a few days back said good bye to her loved ones yesterday. But her tragic death would always remind us of the thousands of children who have fallen victim to LTTE terrorism in the last two decades.

This is not new to Tamils. Previously they killed Tamil adults and called LTTE. Now the bu---rds are killing our children.

The IC should ask the UN to send a independent team to investigate and charge as crime's against humanity.

You cannot guess that it is a training camp for soldiers, you have to have the intelligence to know exactly what it is.

This is barbaric state terrorism.

The LTTE must make the Singhalese feel the pain and suffering of Tamils.

If we are going down, then we must take the Singhalese along with us. The Singhala south is the sole sponsor of this Singhala state terrorism on us, the LTTE must make them feel our pain. Our people shouldn't always go through the hardship, the Singhala South must feel the effect of the Singhala Racist's State terrorism against the Tamils.


Venerable Anud Veera Soora Soma Ram Thero is worse than Hitler. He is trying to spin, the innocent school children's murder by the Sinhala terrorists. If Gaudama Buddha is a real God, then he will destroy the Singhala terrorists from the face of this planet.

Anud Thero is the guy who said we should forget about the murder of 17 social workers because they were murdered by the Singhala Nazi army thugs. But, now he is also showing the Singhala terrorist army's website to justify the cold blooded murder of these innocent Tamil children.

Sooner or later, Aund Verra Soora Thero will have to answer Buddha himself one day for this type of inhumane spins. The death of these innocent children will bring curse on the entire Singhala race.

The Singhalese unleashed the terror on Tamil children and that's why the Singhala children are being abused in the Sri Lankan beaches by the foreigners. The Singhala women are slaves under Arab masters and they are stranded in the bomb wreckage of Lebanon, yes Buddha is great indeed.

Even Isreal after fighting a battle for over thirty days, has not won against the Hesbolla, Even US UK forces has not won against the Irqis or the Talaiban yet.

GOSL cannot win against LTTE, so far they have not even got to the sluice gate of Mavilaru! They will end up killing a lot of civilians and therefore more and more Tamils will support LTTE. Similar to the Lebanese situation.
