ADDRESS THE TERRORISTS WITH A LANGUAGE IT COULD UNDERSTAND

A.A.M.NIZAM MATARA.

The 243rd suicide bomb attack carried out by the world’s notorious and ruthless terrorist organization LTTE aiming to eliminate the Army Commander Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka, and reported attempts being made to attack the Trincomalee Naval Base has compelled the Sri Lankan Air Force to attack the terrorist camp in Sampur, Tricomalee inflicting heavy damages to the terrorists.. Immediately after the suicide attack Terrorist Intellgence Chief Pottu Amman’s website “Tamileditors” flashed in bold letters “Sarath Fonseka, the man responsible for the horrific murder of 1000s of innocent Tamil civilians in the Jaffna peninsula during the 1990s has been seriously injured in a bomb blast in Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo.” This flash was captioned as “Mass Murderer Seriously Injured”. It also said, that “all five of the murderer’s bodyguards were killed on site”. In its despicable customary manner the terrorist outfit would certainly deny its involvement in this suicide expedition and it would be followed by supportive statements from their sanitizers, the Norwegians, the SLMM and the dollar worshiping Sinhala peace merchants trying to implicate responsibility of this heinous crime on an imaginary third party as it had done in many previous occasions.

8 persons including 5 Army personnel were killed and 27 persons injured in this outrageous attack. 5 of the injured are said to be in critical condition. Commander Fonseka, a great and fearless son of Sri Lanka is reported to be out of danger after being operated by a team of 10 surgeons. He was the terrorist outfit’s most hated and despised personnel in the Sri Lankan security establishment.

The suicide bomber had come disguised as a pregnant woman with explosives tied to her body and had waited with the relatives of security personnel at the gate of the Army hospital. The attack had taken place at the gate of the Army Headquarters. Reports indicate that Commander Fonseka who suffered serious injuries in the chest and in the abdominal area is now considered as out of danger, and it is the heartfelt wish of all the patriotic Sri Lankans.

The terrorist outfit’s hatred towards Commander Fonseka is a very deep- seated animosity. During the two dark years of terrorist appeasement under the premiership of Mr. Ranil Wickremasinghe it was Lt. Gen. Fonseka who had the guts, and a true Sri Lankan mettle to stand against implementation of steps urged by the terrorist outfit to endanger the safety of our security forces and the sovereignty of the nation. He stood firmly against trimming the areas of the High Security Zones as that could endanger and expose the Palaly airbase, KKS harbour and the life of security forces to the terrorist artillery.

A five-paged secret document titled “De-escalation plan” submitted by Mr. Fonseka, who was a Maj. General at that time, called for disarming the terrorist and decommissioning of their long-range weapons in return for re-settlement of displaced persons in the High Security Zone. Ranil Wickremasinghe government attempted to evade his patriotic recommendations by bringing down Lt. Gen. Nambiar of India to report on the issue and the Indian General also accepted the validity of Gen. Fonseka’s recommendations, and fully endorsed it..

Thus, Sri Lanka fortunately was able to avoid the Palaly airbase, KKS naval base and the precious life of 40,000 security forces stationed in the peninsula falling into the hands of the terrorist outfit. It also helped to put a stop to reducing the number of army camps in the peninsula.Ranil Wickremasinghe government reduced the number of army camps to 88 from the original number of 152.

Lt Gen. Fonseka’s appointment as Commander of the Army w.e.f 6th December 2005 was unpalatable not only to the terrorist outfit but also to the dollar hungry Sinhala peace merchants, who are being paid sumptuously to prolong the peace façade and enable the terrorist outfit to gain strength militarily, economically and diplomatically.

These “peace merchants” castigated him as a warmongering hardliner, and continued to refer to him with this appellation whenever they made any mention about him. .

In an interview given to Daily Mirror (10.12.2005) Commander Fonseka admitted that the terrorists have improved their firepower since the truce entered into some 46 months ago. He said his priority would be to change tactics and equipment as part of a long-term plan to modernize the army. He disclosed that the LTTE has emerged as a powerful force mainly because the government failed to control the terrorist activities. Referring to the ignominious CFA Commander Fonseka rightly pointed out in this interview that there are many loopholes in the Ceasefire Agreement and the LTTE has gained from it and hence it should be reviewed. He said that before the signing of the CFA, the Tigers were not in a position to continue with the war, mentally or militarily, but the CFA had helped them to improve their firepower. In true spirit of a patriot he also declared that he has a lot of battlefield experience with the LTTE and they won’t judge him as a weak man. He said he hopes to be a challenge to any terrorist activity in the country, and indeed, he wants to be a challenge.

The restrain shown by the government amidst the continued shadow war carried out by the terrorists murdering hundreds of security force personnel and the innocent citizens had surpassed all tolerable limitations. The time has dawn for the government to be firm with this murderous gang, militarily, economically and internationally. The government must use its constitutional right to thwart all attempts being made by these murderers as it was done at Sampur. At the same time following measurers should also be taken to liberate the areas and the innocent people held under the jackboots of this gang.

  • - Intensify the propaganda campaign throughout the world toexpose the atrocities and the ruthless nature of this gang who are linked to Al Qaida and provide arms procurement, training, drug trafficking and money laundering facilities to other leading terrorist organizations in the world.
  • - Call upon all friendly countries to help Sri Lanka to put an end to the three decades of terrorist atrocities.
  • - Declare the occupational areas as a war zone, and urge the peace loving residents to move out from these areas.
  • - Disconnect electricity, water and other supplies to these areas, for which the government spends heavily.
  • - Halt transport of petrol, diesel, kerosene and other material that may sustain the terrorist murderers.
  • - Restrict all South Indian fishing boats entering to the Sri Lankan territory which are only supply convoys disguised as fishing boats.
  • - Instruct all INGOs and NGOs operating in the occupation area by foreigners to leave the area within a reasonable time frame.
  • - Bombard strategic military and naval targets and the illegal airstrip making them ineffective and thwart all possible action they could take against the government forces.
  • - Declare an amnesty to all terrorists who surrender to the security forces along with their weapons.

As the terrorist outfit does not understand the meaning of peace and what they believe as peace is a right granted to them for bullying and killing the government forces and the innocent population, the only alternative available for the government is to address it with the own language of the Terrorist outfit.
