With no war in this country why can't the Govt use the armed forces including the STF to curb these killings? How many more to be killed before this Govt wakes up? Very soon even tourists will not be safe.

The only way for a poor person to improve his station in life in Sri Lanka is criminal activity. There is no other alternative; other than praying to a Rock for divine intervention.
