Prabha's Final Journy

The photographs shown in this column show how the LTTE Tamil Tiger terrorists are killing innocent Tamil Civilians trying to flee from the :Human Shield" of the Tamil Tiger Terrorists.

“Tamil Tigers”, also called “The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam” (LTTE) declare that they are fighting the government of Sri Lanka to “liberate” the Tamils. During the past three decades of their “liberation struggle” they forcibly abducted an estimated twenty thousand children as young as ten and converted them into human bombs or cannon fodder. Tamil parents who objected to the forcible conscription of their beloved children were tortured or killed in front of their families.

Finally, after seven futile attempts at internationally facilitated peace talks and ceasefires, all of which were reneged by the LTTE, the democratically elected Sri Lankan government decided that the only way to liberate the Tamils from the clutches of the LTTE was to eradicate the oppressors. Sri Lanka learned the hard way that any “ceasefire” interval given to these abominable terrorists would be used by them to recuperate, regroup, rearm and attack without warning. Tigers, once the world’s most feared terrorists, are now confined to a few square kilometres of jungle where they have corralled innocent Tamil civilians to be used as human shields. If not for the Sri Lankan government’s concern for the safety of civilians, the LTTE would have been wiped out from the face of earth many moons ago.

Tigers make sure that those who try to escape into government declared safe zones are mercilessly killed, mostly burnt alive and the corpses are displayed as a deterrent to others who would try to escape. These photos were taken by a brave Tamil who managed to escape to a safe zone only last week.

The photographs appearing below show how the LTTE had killed and burned innocent Tamils who tried to leave the human shield to go to the government controlled area. Despite the LTTE having burned these dead bodies on a road taken by innocent Tamils to leave the area, people with their belongings on bicycles are seen moving past these burnt bodies in one photograph and in another photograph a man with his personal belongings is seen riding a motor cycle past these burnt bodies. All these people though made to witness what had happened to others who dared to defy LTTE orders were possibly moving in the direction of the government controlled area.

LTTE's objective is to carve a state out of Sri Lanka and to achieve its goal will not hesitate to endanger and sacrifice human life. It commenced with the LTTE first killing Tamil politicians and Tamil policemen loyal to Sri Lanka. Then they turned towards the rival terrorists' fractions and eliminated those who competed with them to achieve their aspiration- to reign supreme without a challenge to their authority as the sole representative of the Tamil people. Their next target was the TULF politician who taught them the rudiments of secession but preferred to keep their distinct identity and ideology.

This small girl and a boy watching the burnt dead bodies and the same girl is seen in another photograph still looking at the burnt dead bodies. The parents of these two little children may be among the people killed and burnt at this spot by the LTTE.

A Child Soldier of Tamil Tiger Terrorists ready to kill anybody.
