The International Community's resolutions on terrorism openly challenged by the LTTE Ethnic Cleansing by Tamil Tiger Terrorists Must be condemned

SPUR unreservedly condemns the Tamil Tiger Terrorist's barbaric acts in the past week centred on killing innocent citizens, mostly Sinhalese civilians. We urge the President of Sri Lanka, His Excellency Mahinda Rajapaksa to work with the armed forces commanders, the clergy, other political parties and civic organisations to unite the citizenry and focus on one single objective, eliminating the LTTE terrorists. The gratitude that the LTTE has shown to the President for presenting a political solution to the terrorist problem is to unleash a week of carnage attacking unarmed innocent civilians including Tamil children using a bus in the vicinity of the Madhu church.

Last weeks LTTE's barbarity includes:

1. Attacking a bus carrying school children in the Buttala area killing close to 40 people. Eye witnesses said that most of the victims were shot at point blank range after surviving the bus bomb 2. Killing 10 innocent Sinhalese peasant farmers tilling rice fields 3. Hacking to death and burying 17 people in a mass grave in the Kebithigollawa area 4. Killing 10 Tamil children by triggering a claymore mine in the Madhu church area and then apportioning blame on the Sri Lankan government on the same day that the head of the Tamil Peace secretariat head urged international intervention in Sri Lanka. Pigs will fly if this was not a coincidence. This demonstrates the extent of LTTE's desperation, where they even kill their own children to further their political objectives. 5. Killing 20 Buddhist pilgrims on their way to Anuradapura by blowing up their bus in Dambulla 6. Throwing a hand grenade at people visiting the Zoo critically injuring 4 people; and 7. Using a suicide bomber to kill 20 people and wound another 100 at the Colombo Fort railway station

The civilian death count over the last week stands at over 100 with close to 150 people injured some permanently disabled losing limbs. The international community is obliged to condemn these acts unreservedly and put the LTTE leadership on notice of the dire consequences of these brutal acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing. The fact that the LTTE fronts which collect funds in many Western countries finance the civilian killing spree cannot be ignored. Only the LTTE friendly NGO's operating in Sri Lanka such as the NPC, the CPA and bogus human rights organisations would have a pervert sense of satisfaction counting the mounting dead. They would erroneously believe that the increasing deaths of civilians would drive the President to submission, offering the LTTE an interim Government in the North and East of Sri Lanka, leading eventually to separatism. It is a pity that these anti-nationalists who maintain a deadly silence when Sinhalese civilians are killed are given disproportionate coverage when they utter gobbledygook seeking peace talks with Tiger terrorists. Soon they will come out with their pitifully stale line that "we urge both parties to desist from violence and talk peace". It is gratifying to note that these foreign funded-anti nationalist's influence is limited to the cocktail circuit in Colombo, and some English language media.

Let there be no ambiguity. The International community's commitment to national and UN anti -terrorism and financing of terrorist organizations resolutions are at stake. Leading western democracies who urge Sri Lanka to present political solutions to the terrorist problem must act against LTTE's unceasing waves of violence against unarmed civilians. They must put the LTTE leadership on notice and point out to them that they are fast running out of space where they could hide in this world as crimes against humanity has no impunity. Those countries such as Australia who are yet to ban the LTTE must do so under the Australian Criminal Code Act 1995 immediately. The LTTE leadership, if they survive the current military thrust of the Sri Lankan armed forces would find locating a nation providing them sanctuary in exile impossible, as the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in The Hague covers every nook and cranny in this world.

The days of Prabakaran and his henchmen who practice ethnic cleansing and genocide are numbered. The International community has a responsibility to act decisively to minimise the carnage this megalomaniac can unleash before his ultimate demise at the hands of Sri Lanka's armed forces.

It is time to garrotte the terrorists and embrace democrats.
