Sri Lanka stages mass funerals after Freedom Day bloodshed
1 day ago
COLOMBO (AFP) =C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9D Sri Lanka staged mass funerals =
for bomb blast victims after independence day festivities were marred by =
a string of attacks blamed on Tamil Tiger rebels.
Schools in Colombo were shut as a Buddhist service was held for seven =
students and their baseball coach killed in a suicide bombing at a train =
terminal here on Sunday on the eve of Freedom Day.
After funeral rites, the coffins were taken to the victims' homes for =
burial.
In the northeastern Weli Oya region, a funeral was held for three =
people killed on Freedom Day in a bomb attack on a civilian bus that =
left 14 people dead and 15 injured.
Five people killed on Saturday in a bus bomb attack were buried in a =
mass grave in Kandy district on Monday.
President Mahinda Rajapakse insists security forces are winning the =
war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and that the =
guerrillas have been confined to the northern region of the palm-fringed =
tropical island.
But there has been an explosion of violence blamed on the rebels in =
recent weeks, with a series of bloody attacks.=20
Villagers have been hacked to death inside government-controlled =
territory, and another roadside bomb attack killed a soldier in the =
south on Monday.
London-based Amnesty International said Tuesday it was alarmed over =
the worsening security situation as it could lead to a "further =
spiralling of civilian casualties."
"Both the Sri Lanka government and the LTTE are failing to comply with =
their obligations under international humanitarian law and are killing =
civilians on an increasingly regular basis," the rights group said.=20
"With no perpetrators brought to justice, a climate of impunity is =
becoming entrenched: unless these patterns are reversed the future =
appears bleak," warned Tim Parritt, deputy programme director for the =
Asia-Pacific region.
The government has delayed by three days a military hardware and state =
enterprise exhibition after the attacks, which came as Sri Lanka =
celebrated 60 years of independence from Britain.
Sri Lanka meanwhile complained to neighbouring India over the =
disappearance of seven of its sailors following a sea battle with =
suspected rebels on Monday near the common maritime border.
It was not known whether the boat had sunk or the sailors had been =
taken prisoner.
Colombo alleged that 400 to 500 Indian trawlers were poaching in Sri =
Lankan waters and that Tiger operatives had taken cover among them to =
launch an attack on Sri Lankan naval patrols.
The Sri Lankan patrols could not return fire for fear of injuring the =
Indian fishermen, Colombo said.
The Tiger naval attack followed ground confrontations between troops =
and rebels in the same area, in which at least five guerrillas were =
killed and four wounded, the defence ministry said.
War planes bombed a suspected Tamil Tiger office on Tuesday but there =
were no immediate re****ts of casualties or damage, the ministry said.
In an independence day address to the nation on Monday, Rajapakse said =
Colombo was winning its war with the Tigers, saying "terrorism is =
receiving an unprecedented defeat."=20
The Sri Lankan government last month officially pulled out of a =
defunct truce with the rebels, who have fought for more than three =
decades for an independent ethnic homeland in the Sinhalese-majority =
island.
According to the defence ministry, the rebels have lost at least 913 =
fighters since the beginning of the year, compared with just 37 =
government soldiers killed.
Scores of civilians have also died during the same period, according =
to both sides. No independent verification of the tolls is possible as =
the media and human rights groups are barred from the embattled regions.
