The naked bodies of the LTTE members who staged yesterday’s attack on the Anuradhapura Air Force Base were displayed at the sacred city this morning (Oct. 23rd), according to our correspondent there.
The website of the Media Centre for National Security published photographs of all 21 Black Tigers – 18 men and three women – who were killed in the pre-dawn assault on the airbase, lying in the runway of the airbase.
This morning, all their bodies, sans their clothing, were being transported in tractors to the hospital mortuary, when they were uncovered and shown to the public, the correspondent reported.
Several people who witnessed the incident commented that the intention was to prevent the mentality of defeat from entering the public mindset in the aftermath of this major military debacle which inflicted immeasurable damage to life and property.

IBC practising racism
(October, 25, London, Sri Lanka Guardian)

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) front International Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) operating from the United Kingdom is practising racism without fear of the laws in the UK. They are practicing racism by reflecting their anger by calling the Sri Lankan government with the communal name ‘Singalam’ (Sinhalese). Their broadcast extensively use this term in a demeaning manner to prop up hatred against the Sinhala people among those listen to their broadcasts daily.
Without singling out the government of Sri Lanka (GOSL), its un-accommodative policy towards Tamil minorities and the right wing Sinhala extremists the programme broadcasters generalise and call the entire Sinhala people ‘Singalam’ in a racial sense.
Their broadcasters will say ‘Singalam is doing this and Singalam is doing that’ instead of specifically apportioning the blame on the military or the government.

IBC is an illegal and unregulated broadcasting station operating clandestinely from South London. Following its recent eviction from its south London premises due to non payment of mortgage repayments to the tune of £60,000 it is still able to carry on with its operations without fear of the laws clandestinely.*
