Victory over the terrorism in Sri Lanka

Terrorism in guise of liberation

It was exactly 3 years ago when the Security Forces liberated the country from the clutches of LTTE terrror

Untill then, lives of all Sri lankans were in danger, without knowing when the merciless Tigor terrorists would explode the next bomb, targetting civillians. Thanks to the supreme sacrifices of the Security Forces and fearless political leadership of President Mahinda Rajapakse, all Sri lankans, irrespective of race and religion, are now enjoying the dividends of peace.
However, it's still fresh in our memories how the LTTE inflicted nothing but misery when they unleashed terrorism in the guise of liberation. Here are a few of the many LTTE atrocites to prove that they were the world's most ruthless terrorist outfit untill May 18, 2009.
