It looks like a PR and Media war.
Did UN of GOSL have conclusive evidence on this crime?
War brings collateral damage as Bush always says. Remember, UN peace keepers in Lebanon when Israel went on offensive.
Jeyaraj is perhaps trying to please the extremists.

Homes is British. BBC is British.
No one asked about what British Army is doing in someone else's country and how they are killing innocent people.
No one asked about, how London Police killed one Latino for suspicion and if Sri Lanka has terrorism for 30 years, why SriLankans SLDFs cannot kill 17 workers for any reason.
It is all their's media, theirs' questions. Every thing is their's. |

Collateral damage? That Latino is also collateral damage in fighting terrorism. In SL also innocent civilians will die.
That is the disturbing reality of conflict. Isn't it?
But this cannot be compared with sending child soldiers to fight. |

I think, some people want GOSL to leave NGOs unattended. Then, they can convert the Whole ASIA without any barriers.
Sri Lanka and Buddhism is really a headache for them. Because, it does not have a ALMIGHTY GOD at the top.

Dr Brian Seneviratne mentioned previously that even though there are divisions among the Sinhalese, when it comes to the ethnic issue they will unite, unlike the Tamils. This Jeyaraj Fernandopulle is trying to be more extreme than even the racists among the Sinhalese, just for bread and butter. The likes of him are doing the most damage to the Tamils compared to any Sinhalese.

When the Suicide BOMBER is a Woman - By Jan Goodwin
On the day before she set out to blow up the Sri Lankan prime minister, Menake went shopping for a sequined top to hide the vest full of explosives that would turn her into a human bomb. It was the cyanide necklace that gave her away.
The denim vest is a simple garment, tailored to fit the young woman?s body. Narrow shoulder straps hold the midsection in place. It?s not high fashion, but that doesn?t matter, since the first time it?s worn will also be the last. The large disk that rests under the breast area is filled with a mass of 3-mm steel balls, and behind that, next to the skin, sits a C-4 plastic explosive. Two detonators, one on either side of her body, require just a gentle tug. Then, in an instant, the vest wearer becomes a human bomb, capable of killing or maiming dozens of people within a 100-foot radius.
Menake?s vest fit her well. She tried it on several times to make sure it lay snugly against her chest. She practiced reaching for the detonators without arousing suspicion. She thought hard about the best outfit to disguise its deadly purpose, settling on a sequined top whose shimmer would distract the eye from what lay beneath.
The 27-year-old woman is not what we picture when we hear ?suicide bomber.? With her long black hair neatly pulled back from her chocolate-colored skin, she is shy, soft-spoken - the kind of person you?d trust with your kids. But Menake is also a member of the Black Tigers, the suicide commando squad of Sri Lanka?s Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a terrorist group that has more female suicide bombers than any other organization in the world.

WHY did the agency asked the workers to stay put in the conflict zone knowing very well the risks.
Did they try to use them as human shields? |
