They are killing just tamil civilians. Using kfir this and that bombers.
I lost my aunt to this murderous Sri lankan Singhala air force. They pretty much bombed every market place/schools/hospitals/churches/temples in the Tamil area!
130,000 Tamil civilians have been killed by the Sri Lankan state terrorists over 23 years!
It is time, the Tamils get their freedom and live in peace!

Victory after victory!!!
These bloody LTTE terrorists need to be stopped, and the rest of Sri Lanka, and the rest of the world, are all backing this! We are all united against the terrorists!
All the following murders were done by the LTTE terrorist group and were not on 'military or on police':
- May 14, 1985: During the Anuradhapura massacre 146 civilians shot dead.
- April 21, 1987: LTTE militants's bomb explosion in Central Bus Stand, Pettah, Colombo, killed 110 civilians, 2 Policemen and an Army.
- May 21, 1991: LTTE suicide bomber assassinated former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi also killing an additional 13 civilians.
- April 29, 1992: LTTE cadres kill 69 Muslim civilians including 5 infants. Reprisal attacks by Muslim civilians and homeguards results in the death of 49 Tamil men and women.
- May 01, 1993: The LTTE assassinate the President of Sri Lanka.
- May 25, 1995: During the Kallarawa massacre 42 civilians including six children
- January 31, 1996: An attack by the LTTE on the Colombo Central Bank killed 90 and injured a further 1,400 civilians. It was the MOST DEADLIEST LTTE attack on a CIVILIAN target in the history of the terrorist group!
- July 24, 1996: The LTTE bombs a passenger train killing 70 civilians.
- January 25, 1998: A brain-dead Black Tiger squad drove an explosives-laden truck into the Sri Dalada Maligawa (or 'Temple of the Tooth'), a major Buddhist shrine, killing 7 and injuring 25 civilians.
- September 18, 1999: LTTE cadres massacre 50 Sinhalese civilians during an attack on three villages.
- July 24, 2001: An LTTE 14-man suicide squad attacked a Sri Lanka Air Force base and the adjoining Bandaranaike International Airport.
- May 29, 2006: Thirteen farm workers were cut and shot to death by the LTTE in a village around Welikanda in Plonnaruwa.
- June 15, 2006: The LTTE blow up a civilian bus killing 68, including 10 children and 3 pregnant women. approximately 60 more are injured.
In conclusion, the LTTE is a very violent, barbaric terrorist organisation, and it doesn't matter how much propaganda the ltte supporters want to spread, it doesn't change anything! These are facts and there's a lot of articles on the web that back up every one of these incidents...
The LTTE murder civilians, including tamils, and they are the cause of the fact that whenever you say the word 'TAMIL' to a non-south asian, everyone immediately associates this with 'TERRORISTS!'
