| Sri Lanka's Dirty War - Sri Lanka |
 |
July 2007
In the past 18 months, over 2,000 Sri Lankans
have been kidnapped or murdered, allegedly by
government death squads. Now Human Rights
Watch is calling for aid to Sri Lanka to be
withheld.
The Tamil homeland of Northern Sri Lanka is
once again a war zone. The government is
convinced it can crush the rebels within
three years. "They only have this area left",
states Brig Prasad. As well as targeting
Tamil rebels, the government is accused of
thousands of; "extrajudicial killings,
abductions, disappearances". Most of the
disappeared are ethnic Tamils. MP Mano
Ganesan believes the abductions are; "a means
of crushing the Tamil national struggle". The
capital, Colombo, teams with police and
soldiers but none of the abductors have been
caught.

| Shadow War - Sri Lanka |
 |
April 2006
Tamil Tigers claim the government is secretly
arming paramilitaries. But the government
refuses to even acknowledge the
paramilitaries' existence, leaving both sides
poised for war.
"We have a military wing, political wing,
intelligence wing", boasts Pradeeb, Head of
the largest paramilitary force, the Karuna
Group. Militias like his, made up of
disenchanted Tigers, have vowed to take on
their former colleagues, the Tamil Tigers.
They're accused of working as a proxy force
for the government, jeopardising the
cease-fire. But the government refuses to
accept their existence. "There are definitely
no armed groups", states Secretary of
Defence, Gotabhaya Rajapaska. However, as
long as the government seems unwilling to
tackle the paramilitaries problem, a return
to full-scale war looks inevitable.

| Sri Lankan Navy blows up LTTE TERRORIST gun ship - MUST SEE |
 |
Must see actual footage of LTTE terrorist (No
1 terrorist group banned by over 32 nations)
gun ship being blown up by the Sri Lankan
Navy off the Sri Lankan sea coast. Quick
response by the elite navy forces saved the
lives of many innocent Sri Lankan Civilians.
The Sri Lankan Naval patrol units foiled an
LTTE terrorist attempt to smuggle a cache of
arms and explosives in the seas 185 Nm, off
'Dondra Point'-Matara, on Feb 28 2007,
morning. SL Navy fired warnings shots in the
air to halt the terrorist gun ship however
the ltte retaliated by firing motars at the
SL Navy. The Navy forces of the Socialist
Democratic Rebublic of Sri Lanka had no
choice but to fight back and destroy the
terrorist ship completely. SL Navy recovered
lethal weapons, 122 mm shells, T56 Magazines,
motars, gernandes, suicide jackets, AK 47s,
T56s, land mines and much more on the ltte
terrorist gun ship
Fishermen in the area said that they heard
two large explosions from the above mentioned
area, as they were making towards the land.
The vessel sailing in deep seas around 185
nautical miles off 'Dondra Point' without a
flag was detected by the Navy around 04.30
a.m. Feb/28/2007. The ship had completely
ignored the warning shots fired by the Navy
patrol craft to stop. Instead the vessel had
opened motar fire towards the Naval units.
Subsequently the Navy retaliated with gun
fire at the suspected vessel at about 08.30
a.m.
It is now confirmed that the vessel had
illegally carried weapons and ammunition for
the LTTE terrorist. The LTTE's continuous
attempts to acquire weapons and ammunition
during the past failed due to measures taken
by foreign countries. This incident is a
clear indication that the LTTE has not
stopped their attempts in procuring arms and
ammunition to continue their terrorist
activities to kill innocent Tamil, Sinhala,
Muslim civilians of Sri Lanka.
The sinking of this vessel comes at a time
when the LTTE has suffered humiliating
defeats against the Security Forces and also
been condemed for assasination attempt on
foreign diplomats.

| Tamils Rebel - Sri Lanka |
 |
May 1995
Sri Lanka is being torn apart by civil war as
Hindu Tamils and Buddhist Senhalese clash
once more. This report was filmed inside
Tamil held territory and across the front
line on the very day the war restarted. We
travel from Anaranapuram to the town of
Vavuniya, and across the front lines to the
rebel held, Jaffna, where ordinary Tamils
face a daily struggle. Tamil radio blares out
news of the war on the streets of Jaffna. A
70 year old man flees his home, loading all
his possessions onto a truck. Heavily laden
civilians walk across a lagoon at night. It's
watched by snipers, but is the only route
open between north and south. At the Tamil
headquarters women fighter 'Tigresses' train
for war. "We will lay down our lives for
Tamil Eelam," says one. Their willingness for
martyrdom has earned the Tamil Tigers a
fearsome reputation. A Tamil leader explains
that inhuman treatment of Tamils caused the
renewed fighting. We interview the father of
one of the suicide Tamil 'Tigresses' whose
attack on two Sri Lankan navy ships sparked
off the fighting. She was just 22 but her
tearful father speaks proudly of her
sacrifice. The Tamils are determined to exert
their rights and are well prepared to use
force.
