Reply to SL. This is how LTTE terrorist supporters interpret things. Terrorists are innocent political activists,, and the innocent victims are terrorists !!!

Killings can not be accepted or justified whoever who did but under the PTA prevention of terrorism act ,evidence can be obtained under cruel torture ,this has been proved in some other cases where court discharged the accused as suspects
