That is true. he got egg yesterday & it was Murali who took the cream of the team

Prabhakaran has no one to blame for his woes but himself. He, blinded by hubris, caused the 2002 ceasefire to be abrogated. Like Icarus, he chose to fly too close to the sun which melted his waxen wings. He keeps flapping his bare arms, thinking he is still winged!

A visiting European Union delegation yesterday came down hard on the government over alleged human rights abuses being committed in the country with its chief even going to the extent of expressing doubts that Sri Lanka will qualify for the GSP Plus trade concessions.

Speaking to the media after completing a visit to the country, the EU delegation was of the view the APRC was incomplete without the TNA and also expressed disappointment as it could not visit Trincomalee, which was the main purpose of its tour to Sri Lanka, on the grounds of last minute security concerns.

The last minute cancellation and a catalogue of chaos and confusion meant that the delegation did not fly to Trincomalee, despite repeated assurances and endless complications resulted in the party being turned back from Ratmalana Airport destroying months of preparation, time and expense, EU head of delegation for relations with South Asia, Robert Evans said. Reading out a press statement Evans said the EU Parliament is fully aware that Sri Lanka is involved in the fight against terrorism but still believes that more must be done to defend human rights and put an end to the frightening number of abductions. Terrorism has no place. It must end and it must end sooner We condemn LTTE violence and want them to come to the democratic process. We still believe in a peaceful solution for Sri Lanka. A situation of war is not good for anybody, Mr. Evans said.
