Attack the messager is the best defence of the indefensible killing of aidworkers. Nowhere else in the world aidworkers were shot at close range and SLMM was denied permission at least to see the bodies until they were decomposed beyond recognition.
This is mainly because seventeen humanitarian workers were killed in a single incident in Muttur, said the spokesman Haq.

Meanwhile the Sri Lankan Highways minister, Jeyaraj Fernandopulle this morning described the United Nations Undersecretary John Holmes as a terrorist.


More than an year gone still no proper investigation or an attempt made to identify the killers. Only one attempt was made to tamper with the evidence collected by the Australian forensic scientist that pinpointed the bullet that penetrated the body was from the gun normally used by the SL army.

I did think that how have they managed to video it! But for sure these guerillas would have shooted and distributed to the Sudda community twisting the story!

When the Suicide BOMBER is a Woman


some parts of this long article is highlighted here

?I beg you, can?t you get me out of this country?? she pleads, almost hysterically. ?I want to live. To live the life I might have had before, if I wasn?t going to kill myself.?


When Menake was 7, her father raped her repeatedly for four days during a drunken binge.


Rape is something many female suicide bombers have in common. Considered spoiled goods and unmarriageable in their patriarchal cultures, they view becoming human bombs as a form of purification by fire.


?They just said, ?She is yours,?? Menake tells me. ?I cried. I begged
the LTTE
not to take me. I told them I didn?t want to die so young. But a woman officer told me, ?Sorry, we can?t help you. Your relatives said you came here of your own volition.??

With a larger number of destitute Muslims in Mutur (as you maintain), why were'nt there any Muslims amongst the aid-workers hired by ACF ?


Don't twist my words. WHERE have I claimed that there were 'a larger number of DESTITUTE Muslims in Muttur?

To me it would be logical for the aid-worker composition to vary with the population you are trying to serve. With a larger Muslim population affected by the Tsunami (in Mutur), there should have been more Muslim aid-workers than Tamil, with this NGO. Where-as, there were none. Very strange, I hope you can explain.


I'm not privy to ACFs recruiting policies, but one feasible explanation would be that most workers were recrtuited from the nearest larger town (Trincomalee), and that there are more tamils there than muslims...but as I said, I have no answer to that, and frankly I think it is a red herring.

(The investigation into this murder .. which must be condemned in the severest manner, and if at all possible the cuplrits 'brought to book' .. should also look into the 'operational' aspects of this NGO. We may then have better picture, as to whether the Muslims of the area could have nursed a 'grudge' against ACF, which could have led to this killing).


The only person that has come up with this theory is you, Sena. I have seen no plausible arguments for the theory. I think it would be wiser to concentrate on who had opportunity and motive.

I have no doubt that ultimately, the true perpetrators will be publicly identified (I understand that they essentially have been already) and we will all see who did it.

Until then, I suggest you stop inventing facts, and that you comment only on things you have any knowledge about.

For someone who has so many theories about the murders, it is fascinating that you didn't even know that Muttur was government controlled long, long before the murders. You just exposed yourself as someone who is more interested in rhetoric than truth.

I have no interest in discussing serious matters with someone who is so liberal with the truth. Come back once you have something to add to a discussion other than you pipe dreams.
