The only time these people make a noise is when they are losing.
When they are killing inocent civilians and terrorising women and children they keep quiet. All power to the government troops in their quest for a stable country.

Youtube is not a source of genuine information. anyone can create and upload any false information. its a known fact that lot of LTTE supporters dominate youtube. They upload so many false information; so how can anyone trust youtube. If any of the news channels supports LTTE, they are helping to continue more innocent killings happening in Sri Lanka. If they really want to safeguard the civilians they should go ahead urge LTTE to release the civilians. Why are they silent on that????????

Ah, "Anonymous" from Canada, you are probably brainwashed brother, not I. With respect to you and other here who have lost loved ones, let's speak the truth. The truth is Prabakaran and his top murderers are trying to save themselves.... It is clear that they are holding the civilians hostage and using force to stop them from leaving. This must stop, why would anyone expect a democratically elected govt. to stop the offensive against terrorists? LTTE has done nothing for Tamils over the past 30 years, nothing but, death, destruction, and robbed a generation of good Sri Lankan youth. The LTTE is irrelevant, in the 70s and 80s, during the time of revaluation, this fight made sense. Now, the world has changed... Tamils and anyone else can address their grievances in a different way... LTTE killed so many civilians, Tamils, Singhalese, and Muslims alike... All this got them where we are today! This sux... No more LTTE, we need your help world - to rid the LTTE now!

hurry and apply now for ur asylum visa!!!! war is going to end in a week or two and no war means no asylum for you...
then it's a french problem :))

It is indeed sad to see innocent people die; however, “anonymous” from Canada (last post) is misinformed. The LTTE terrorists, banned in 30 countries and France and Canada for murdering civilians (Tamil, Singhalese, and Muslim) using brainwashed suicide bombers are to blame. They are holding there own people hostage to save their skins... The world, not just Sri Lanka, needs to destroy the LTTE so that no future generation will have to suffer like the innocent Tamil civilians currently trapped by the LTTE. Govt. of Sri Lanka and all decent people, please support Sri Lanka to rid the world of these ruthless LTTE - Especially the Fat overfed Leader who has ordered the LTTE to fire on civilians trying to escape to the government side.

A VERY well balanced report which deals with the subject in a comprehensive manner and provides the story strenght by initiating interviews from both the ends.I am a retired Tamil Army Officer and had an oppurtunity todeal with the LTTE leadership.I can only say that the Srilankan Tamils have been taken for a ride by the so called freedom fighters ------fact remains Prabhakaran is nothing but a solid cheat. Time has come when sensible leadership should stand with the innocent Tamils of SL origin and the Srilankan Government to see that Prabhakaran and his team HAVING MILITANT APPROACH is eliminated .It will for sure bring peace in the Region.
It is true what your reporter has concluded "Colombo has repeatedly rejected the Tamil Tigers' calls for a ceasefire, saying the rebels would misuse it to rearm, as they have done in the past."Well the world leadership should understand the TRUTH.
