SUCCESS OF MILITARY OPERATIONS SINKS BLACK TIGER DAY TO A NON-EVENT

A.A.M.NIZAM MATARA.

In the dark period of legally Eelamisation of Northern and Eastern provinces of Sri Lanka under the treacherous Ranil Wickremasinghe regime the Black Tiger Day, July 5th was a great event of celebrity. In 2003 the docile Sri Lankan government of that time even facilitated holding this vile event on a grand scale in the Districts of Trincomalee, Battialoa and Vavuniya other than many main towns in the Northern Province, including Jaffna. This is an event which celebrates the brutal murder of 43 Sri Lankan soldiers by the first suicide mission carried out by the terrorists. With the liberation of East and near decimation and detention of fascist tiger terrorists to pockets of Wanni jungles and to the exclusive Kilinochchi, and Mullativu districts gifted to them by Ranil Wickremasinghe, the megalomaniac fascist leader was compelled to commemorate the event this year by lighting the so-called “flame of sacrifice” at a hidden location in Vanni.

Suicide terrorism has become a horrendous global phenomenon afflicting and threatening the people all over the world. It transcends all distinctions of social status, nationalities and national boundaries and indiscriminately kills and maims many innocents and destroys millions worth of properties and national monuments. Literature on Suicide terrorism traces its origin to ancient Zealots and the Assassins of the medieval ages and the causes for suicide terrorism have been focussed mainly on 3 R’s such as Revenge, Renown and Reaction.

The fascist Tiger Terrorist outfit, which Britain graded this week as the world’s 2nd ruthless terrorist organisation, next to Al Qaida, has emerged as the world’s leading and the most dreaded terrorist organisation, which deploys suicide terrorism as a formidable weapon. The Tiger Terrorists have sophisticated suicide terrorism by inventing many techniques, which include sophisticated suicide kits, suicide bras, remote controlled vehicle bombs and explosive laden boats. Many terrorist organisations including Al Qaida operatives in Iraq, Afganistan, Lebanon and Palestine have copied and modified the suicide terrorist technology invented by the Tiger Terrorists and have successfully used and continue to deploy them against civilian and military targets.

Suicide Terrorism by the Tiger Terrorists started in 1987 with the terrorist named Miller driving an explosives laden truck into the Nelliady Army Camp on 5th July that year, in which 43 soldiers were killed, due to the explosion caused by blowing up of the truck. As per reports from the terrorist sources, 322 Black Tigers have been killed in action, since this event. Leaders of the terrorist outfit describe suicide terrorists, the Black Tigers as an indispensable arsenal. It has become a formidable weapon of their arsenal and the day is commemorated on a grand scale by the terrorists erecting pandals in the main towns and organising other propaganda events. There is a separate wing in the terrorist establishment for the Black Tiger suicide terrorists. Those who sacrifice their life in these suicide missions are honoured by the terrorist leadership as “Mahaveers” (The Great Heroes) and a tombstone is erected in a special cemetery dedicated for them. The families of these suicide terrorists are also honoured as Mahaveer families.

In an interview with Associated Press last year (05.07.2006), Yogaratname Yogi speaking on behalf of the leadership justified use of Suicide Terrorism and said "There are many groups in the world using suicide bombers but the methods of our Black Tigers are more effective and incredible.”. He ridiculed the countries accusing them for using Suicide Terrorism saying that many countries in the world fear Black Tigers. He said that they are fearful that other groups may emulate them, these countries ridicule the cadres and are bent on creating a bad opinion against them.” He said that "War itself is violent. There are no soft methods in it. Weren't bombs made to blow up and kill men? So why there is such a cry if only a man becomes a human bomb?" he queried.

Fascist Tiger Terrorists is only terrorist outfit in the world responsible for the brutal murder of 2 Heads of State, several Ministers of the Government and many politicians and personalities of the very community which it fraudulently claims to represent and fighting for upholding their rights. Black Tigers are responsible for carrying out all these murders. Other than the high ranking personalities these Black Tigers have carried out destruction of economic targets causing murder and mayhem to thousands of innocent civilians who happened to be in such locations accidentally. Bombing of the Central Bank Building, and Sri Lanka’s International Airport are two such prime targets. Further this Unit has successfully carried out a series of murders targeting Sri Lankas Intelligence Unit officers following divulgence of their identities by treacherous politicians. Maj. Gen. :Parami Kulatunge killed on 26th June last year was the last such military officer killed by the Black Tigers.

There are many instances in which the dedicated and determined Sri Lankan forces have thwarted Black Tiger attempts to cause destruction of economic targets and high ranking personalities and politicians. Attacks on Galle and Colombo harbours, ships transporting off-duty soldiers, attempts to murder the Army Commander and the Defence Secretary and capture of several explosive laden trucks are some of the recent such attempts of Black Tigers thwarted by our gallant security personnel. Many of the successful as well as unsuccessful Black Tigers attempts in Colombo and its suburbs are reported to have been carried out by Black Tigers resident in Colombo lodges and by remaining as domestic hands in the residences of some politicians.

The despicable events the terrorist outfits hold in commemoration of their dead Black Tigers annually were held on an unprecedented grand scale during the treacherous Ranil Wickremasinghe government period in 2003 after signing the ignominious CFA. In that year these events were held all over the Northern and Eastern provinces and government officials were forced to facilitate such events, and even mobile and immobile government properties were used.

The main event in that year was held at Nelliyadi where the Sri Lankan soldiers were murdered by the truck bomb attack. The statue of the murderous terrorist was declared open garlanding it by his mother. The main event of the Batticaloa-Ampara District was held at Valachchenai – Pesalai playgrounds. In Trincomalee, leading citizens, principals of schools, teachers, students and the public were maid to pay homage to the dead Black Tigers. Main functions were held in Sampur where they erected a mausoleum for the Black Tigers. In Vavuniya, Businesses were ordered to close at 1 pm as a mark of respect. In schools and in several business premises students and workers were made to pay respect to black tiger memorial photos sprinkling flower petals.

There are no reports of this despicable event held this year in the Eastern Province, in which Sampur, Vaharrai, Muttur East, and Valachchenai were main event locations in the previous years. Our gallant soldiers have successfully liberated all these locations from terrorist occupation. Due to liberation of the Eastern Province and under the dominance of our forces in many other areas, the event which happened to be a great day of celebration in the terrorist calendar has lost all its fascination and thereby forcing to hold it as a clandestine event in an undisclosed Vanni location for the megalomaniac leader to light what they call the “flame of sacrifice” and address a handful of black tigers. This itself is a monumental demonstration of the remarkable success of the government military operations amidst criticism of it as futile and an unaccomplishable exercise by terrorist elements, vested interests and reactionary politicians. Will this be the last occasion for the terrorist leader to hold this despicable event?
