Two civilians were killed and two wounded Tuesday evening when Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) bombed a suburb of Ki'linochchi town, firing air burst bombs over the UN compounds area with civilian settlements, 300 meters from UNICEF office near Kandasamy temple. A hostel used by UNDP and UNHCR staff workers was damaged in the attack. Six bombs were fired by two bombers, between 3:30 and 3:45 p.m. The wounded were rushed to Ki'linochchi hospital.
The responsibility of good governance is to take care of all the citizens without any discrimination. Discriminating citizens in the name of race or religion is an act of terrorist. Sri Lanka Army are conducting a terrorist activity in the name of countering insurgency. They have gun down many Tamilian in the name of suspected LTTE rebels. They have bombarded the civilian locations in the name of suspected LTTE strong hold. What do we expect when the hand who supposed to safeguard the citizens is signing a military order to kill the Tamil people? Definitely any one in that situation will fight back and Tamilian see LTTE as a defender not a terrorist. A terrorist for government is a defender for the community and for my understanding LTTE is a freedom fighter group equal to the Palestinian's struggle for independence and sovereign state.
