TULF leader V. Anandasangaree has cautioned security forces against targeting civilians when they engaged LTTE targets in the Vanni.
The TULF leader, in a statement issued yesterday, severely criticised the recent SLAF strike targeting a Sea Tiger facility at Kiranchi in the Pooneryn area causing loss of civilian life.
The following is the full text of his statement:
The bombing of the Sea Tiger base at Kiranchi in the Poonakari Division of the Kilinochchi Electorate is highly deplorable. I am deeply concerned about the civilian casualties in this aerial attack, in which men, women and small children numbering eight were killed and fourteen injured some of whom are very serious and awaiting at the Kilinochchi Hospital to be transferred for specialised treatment elsewhere.`
`Kilinochchi was an electorate represented by me in Parliament for several years. It is a very quiet village where over 50 years back 200 peasant families were settled is 5 acre plots of a coconut colonisation scheme along with some middle class families in larger extents of land. I do not dispute the fact that there was a Sea Tiger base, may be along the coast. What I wish to know is whether it is the fault of the innocent civilians if the LTTE cowardly and foolishly locate their base in the midst of civilian population.`
`In a situation like this it is obligatory on the part of the Government Forces to safeguard the civilians at any cost. There had been a number of instances in which various countries had spent several millions to save one life. In this instance, the Air Force that had knowledge of a Sea Tiger base there, should have also known that the base itself is in the midst of civilians and acted with extreme caution. The civilians should have been alerted before commencing the attack. The LTTE can descend to any level but the Government Forces can t behave like the Tigers. This incident is a serious violation of human rights of a group of people living peacefully at least 35 km away from the combat zone. This type of incidents should be avoided by the Forces, lest they should lose their credibility.`
`The LTTE, in turn, should learn to show their strength to the Forces and not to the innocent unarmed civilians. The bomb explosion in a bus at Mount Lavinia on Saturday caused injury to 18 persons only, fortunately because of the timely warning of a passenger. If not for this, it would have ended up in a far worse disaster. The discovery of 20 kg of explosives in Kerawalapitiya is another irresponsible act of the LTTE, fortunately detected in time on some information received. LTTE is very well aware that the Tamils who fled their homes out of fear for the LTTE are now living in peace among the Sinhalese. What the LTTE wants is a backlash. The LTTE is blood thirsty and is all out to shed innocent blood. The task of the forces is to prevent it. The duty of every citizen is to pass on any information available to the authorities to help to detect and prevent disaster.`

Tiggy..as usual you didn't read the message.
Sangari wants to crush the LTTE without harming the civillians.
anyone who don't support terrorism would agree with him.
Security forces should be vigilant when bombing from air becuase LTTE is cowardly hiding among the civilians.
LTTE is directly targetting civilians as they have no options these days. but SL forces must protect its civilians.

As long as LTTE hides behind innocent civilians, And the GoSL decides to go after them with bombs dropped from fighter jets, lots of civilians going to die.
This is what happens when you attach a target of 10 kills a day to wipe out the LTTE.. Focus may change to just 10 kills hell or high water.. no matter where or who, as long as they are in tiger controlled areas.
VP is probably hiding in some one's home, a school or a hospital in killinochchi. And will not hesitate to put the civilians in grave danger.
I feel sorry for all the civilians that are really stuck this time between a rock and a hard place.

You have just come out bravely and courageously with self respect to criticize this military government but I feel it is too late. Having ignored almost 25 years the real ambition of these sinhalese governments both UNP and SLAF
on singalisation of the whole Eastern province , we Tamils are unable to appreciate your latest crocodile tears on poor Tamils civilians . Where did you go all these years.
Why did not you ask the government or your JVP friends to stop bringing sinhalese new settlers to Trincomalee to take over the crown lands belongs to tamils and Muslims.
To-day there are almost nearly 185000 sinhalese people are occupying and living in Tamil areas under the cover of this war?
Before this war there were not any single sinhalese Parlementary MP but to-day there is a JVP MP?
How can you be a real friend of these sinhalese people who wanted to take over the whole Tamils lands to distribute to the newly arrival of sinhalese settlers like Israelis in occupied territory in Palestine?
You went to India to beg Indian's intervention against your own race Tamil Mr.VB in favour of these sinhalese who are stealing your own lands?
But did you come to Colombo to demand these sinhalese people to stop singalisation of our lands,stealings our properties,raping your daughters destroying our valuable educational institutes and libraries?
You are a funny baggar now for shedding crocodile tears
after 25 years.
You are old and don't forget that you will get nothing from these racists sinhalese people whose only dream is to take over the whole Eastern province to to give to sinhalese new settlers.
-You have still a chance of living after all these sins that you have done against to your own race. Mr.Ananada.
I am also like ( your age) but I am not a traitor like you bloody old man .
I can advise you to take some poison to finihs up your life before you get killed by your own sinhalese friends for asking them now to spare Tamil civilians.
You supported all these sinhalese people but did hyou get any ministry post? or did they respect you by giving you a small job in the government?
What damn fool you are my friend Ananada .
The days are very short for the people like you ananada.
You are a worthless Tamil traitor like your friend fisherman Karuna who is now suffering in UK prison.

MR and CO will have to withdraw the Ananatha Sangara Thero's security as they did to Maheswaran. |
