This is from CNN:
Air force sources said Tuesday's attacks happened as the first of three helicopters ferrying the diplomats and U.N. agency heads to the region had just landed at a stadium. The two other helicopters were diverted and did not land at the site.
In an almost simultaneous attack, rebels also directed fire at a nearby air base where a plane belonging to the U.N. refugee agency had just landed, military sources said. The aircraft was slightly damaged but managed to take off while under attack.

Watch out AP news articles initially appearing are from a known LTTE supporter
Anusha Otaggie
she is practically giving the tamilnet view point and seriously curbing the ground situation
I urge all the communitiy to compain directly to AP news wires.
The military and defense attache at US, French, Italian embassies are saying that diplomats were moved with the full knowledge of LTTE. |

Startterror so you are telling me that Webber stadium is not part of Batticaloa military HQ?
Doesn't matter who says it, those are the facts.
Here is more from just last month, on some guys blog about his trip to batticaloa:
The old Dutch fort lies adjacent to the Courts and Army barracks. The Weber stadium also next to the fort is now closed for the public.

Keep at it mate, you criminal false state either through negligence, or in the hope of garnering foreign aid put this diplomats in danger.
Didn't you sing the same tune when your SLA shelled and killed all those civilians in Vaharai? Your governmetn said that the LTTE fired from there tricking the government into retaliating.
Well guess what; what's good for the gander is good for the goose:
remember this gem:
'It was what the Tigers wanted -- to cause damages to the innocent Tamil civilians by provoking the army to retaliate for the Tigers' sporadic and indiscriminate shelling,' the ministry said in a statement.
Lets reword that shall we ;)
'It was what the GoSL wanted -- to cause damages to the innocent diplomats by provoking the LTTE to retaliate for the GoSl's sporadic and indiscriminate shelling,' the LTTE said in a statement. |

Friends,
Don´t be surprised if the US Department of States consider this as a '' minor incident´´.Though they consider China and India as major trade partners, the US and the West are waiting for a moment to destablize these two booming economies,LTTE could be a future strategic partner fullfilling their endeavour.
I hope you know the US modus operandi in the Iran-Contra scandle.
They have sacrifised some of their own presidents(JFK) cold bloodedly to carry out their dirty works.
See what British did to China with opium war, they could paralysed the entire imperial army of China with opium.( At that time the Briton was the world´s top drug dealer)
No need to tell what they did to India.
So all i want to say is, we have to be on alert to protect our motherland. |

Stopterro: The number of people killed in the Kosovo case is comparable to the happenings in Sri Lanka. How can anyone justify In the island of Sri Lanka, the record shows that during the past fifty years and more, the intent and goal of all Sinhala governments (without exception) has been to secure the island as a Sinhala Buddhist Deepa. Rule by a permanent ethnic majority within the confines of a single state is the dark side of democracy. The Sinhala Buddhist nation masquerading as a multi ethnic 'civic' 'Sri Lankan' nation set about its task of assimilation and 'cleansing' the island of the Tamils, as a people, by
- depriving a section of Eelam Tamils of their citizenship,
- declaring the Sinhala flag as the national flag,
- colonising parts of the Tamil homeland with Sinhala people,
- imposing Sinhala as the official language,
- discriminating against Tamils students seeking University admission,
- depriving Tamil language speakers of employment in the public sector,
- dishonouring agreements entered into with the Tamil parliamentary political leadership,
- refusing to recognise constititutional safeguards against discrimination,
- later removing these constitutional safeguards altogether,
- giving to themselves an authocthonous Constitution with a foremost place for Buddhism,
- and changing the name of the island itself to the Sinhala Buddhist name of Sri Lanka - appropriately enough, on the 'tenth day of the waxing moon in the month of Vesak in the year two thousand five hundred and fifteen of the Buddhist Era'.
When these attempts at ethnic cleansing were resisted by the Tamil people by non violent means and parliamentary struggle, Sinhala governments resorted to violence in 1956, in 1958, in 1961 and again in 1977 - a murderous violence directed to terrorise the Tamils into submission. |

| I don't think this incident will have a much affect on the LTTE leadership. After all what can we expect from them. But such incidents will give the leadership anything but their much desired the international recognition. |

Revy: your stupid analysis is like saying dont use the bridge to cross the river!
LTTE terrorist and sri lanka both use all available means. just like LTTE uses Temples and churches store weapons, sri lanka may use a play ground to land a helicopter or two. This a common practice as it happens all around the country when a VIP travels b/c unlike the US there is no 'special' landing pad.
LTTE made a huge mistake, even after being told that VIPs were coming to Batti.
Indians have learned the lesson the hard way.
you think Americans and Germans are going to sit around and do nothing?
it is like a spitting on your own face! |

Umm who's stupid again? Weber stadium has been military controled isntallation for years, its not like they 'just use it' from time to time. I'll add a nice photo for you in my personal space, you can see the stadium all surrounded in razor wire (guess it must be to make sure the ball is kept in play right ;) )
LTTE made a huge mistake, even after being told that VIPs were coming to Batti.
Told by who? Show me the proof, the only proof we have is that the UN rep had to call and tell the LTTE and supposedly said they didn't tell them ahead of time. That is easy neough to verify, someone ask the UN rep.
Indians have learned the lesson the hard way.
you think Americans and Germans are going to sit around and do nothing?
Umm yeah, Germany already has done nothing other than to ask BOTH sides to stop fighting, LOL. As old Nightfox says lets wait and see what the US has to say.
Our supposed US friend Mr. Mig29c promised a show, so lets see, short of attacking the LTTE directly not much more that the US can do to help the failed banana republic.

Gore : all you show is your lack of knowledge regarding the ethnic issue. When terrorists are killed you call it ethnic cleansing, but when terrorist kill babies and old grandmothers it is call liberation
how can even with two brain cells, sit and argue for LTTE when they have essentially eliminated all Tamil free thinking and intellectuals of sri lanka while massacring more than 15,000 Tamils boys who belonged to other Tamil independence movements?
you just have to go to North and East and see the tragedy Tamils under the LTTE terrorist Mafia.
I have extensive knowledge of many liberation organisations, LTTE is no liberation movement.
They are the parasite that arose after consuming the Tamil Eelam concept only to put Tamils in much worse conditions.
come to Colombo and see for yourself how peaceful Tamils can carry out their daily life with out hindrance
I heard in LTTE controlled regions there is a mafia state that is exceeds Stalin's communist Russia |
