LTTE Fire at Fleeing Civilians: 19 killed, 75 Injured


Tamil Tigers on Tuesday went on a shooting rampage, killing 19 Tamil civilians and wounding 75 others apparently to stop them from fleeing as thousands of refugees streamed out of Sri Lanka's war zone in the Wanni region for safer places.

Survivors of the attack who arrived at a military position narrated how Tigers fired at them as they tried to cross the frontlines, Army spokesman Udaya Nanayakkara said.

They were part of a group of about 1,000 civilians who brought these 19 bodies, and said the LTTE cadres opened fire to stop them seeking shelter with the security forces, he added.

Nanayakkara said the incident happened at around 6 to 7 am in Udayarkattu area in Pudukudiyyrippu in the northern Wanni region. This was the second major attempt by the Tigers to stop the Tamil civilians, who international agencies believe are being held as human shields.

In a dastardly attack, condemned worldwide, a LTTE female suicide bomber blew herself up on Monday in a refugee centre killing 29 people and injuring 64 others.

The injured have been admitted to various hospitals, he said.

More than 7,000 Tamil civilians crossed the frontline in Mullaitivu on Monday, bringing the total number of people who have fled the war zone to over 30,000.

We previously had the R5 released but many readers didn’t find it watchable because of the audio, although the video was exceptional. Here’s the DVDRip for the people who waited for something better. I recently watched the R5 and to be honest  I didn’t like it as much. But I must praise the cast for their fine work. Enjoy the release with full subs.
