Sri Lanka accused of killing Tamil leader in ‘massacre’
18th May 2009
And good riddance, I say.
But a pro-LTTE website, Tamilnet, accused the army of conducting a “determined massacre” of the last surviving guerrillas.
According to the account, the leader of the political wing of the Tamil Tigers, B. Nadesan, contacted overseas supporters at 3am on Monday. He asked them to plead with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to evacuate the last 1,000 wounded fighters.
And why not? These were people responsible for 26 years of terrorism, in an attempt to take over a land that was not their own. All they had to do was stay on the mainland, where they had a perfectly fine large territory of their own.
Evidence gathered by Human Rights Watch suggests that Sri Lanka’s government broke a promise to refrain from shelling this area with heavy artillery. Hospitals and clinics were hit on at least 32 separate occasions in the space of five months. If these strikes were intentional, they could amount to breaches of international humanitarian law.
Oh, cry me a river. The “Palestinians” do that about once a month. Nobody cares when they do it. Let’s see Human Rights Watch whine about Muslims for a change.

They’ll never whine about Muslims. Muslims are officially defined as members of a “Religion of Peace.” Unfortunately for too many, it’s the peace of the grave if you don’t follow their orders.
