How do you know it was the LTTE?
Gee, now that a hard one that is. Especially when LTTE NEVER laid a finger on a civilian before.
Maybe there were some villagers who 'lied' about this incident, just for the fun of it, you know
According to Police sources, terrorists have opened small arms fire at the villagers and fled into the jungles area at the bordering Wilpaththu Sanctuary.
Police and security forces are now engaged extensive search and clearing operations in the area, Mahawilchchiya Police said.
Defence sources viewed this as an LTTE genocide attempt to cause fear among the villagers forcing them to flee their traditional lands, at the boarders of the ancient Anuradahapura Kingdom.
Mahawilachchiya is located approximately 30 kilometres north east of Anuradhapura.
