One of my closest friend is a Muslim from Jaffna. Her parents' home and properties were seized by the LTTE and they were banished from their own land while her father's mom and sister were killed by them in a bomb attack. Anyone who claims this war was against Jaffna Tamils and/or Tamils and not the LTTE are ignorant and misinformed to say the least. I also know of many people who lost loved ones, eyes and limbs in the many bomb attacks executed by the LTTE all around the country over the years.the LTTE murdered not just Sinhalese and Buddhists but also Tamils,Muslims, Christians,etc that too of all ages!I still remember the fear we would feel gripping us each time we'd hear an explosion going off.Having lived in central Colombo the areas around my home were vulnerable to numerous attacks.Like this once when the mall just across the road was targeted by the LTTE..I just remember sitting in my room praying hard that if we are to die then pleases let us go with less pain! Thankfully the bomb was successfully diffused, Alhamdullilah!Then the two terrifying air raids carried out in the dead of the night by the LTTE..Audubillah!Only one who experienced such terror will understand how we felt. These are just a few examples.Through out the war the LTTE had caused much pain,destruction, and mayhem in the lives of thousands. this war was against terrorists..and ALhamdullilah today they are no more!
