The
United States has strongly condemned the terrorist attack
on April 6 in Weliweriya, Gampaha. Ironically, it allowed
the showing of the Norwegian movie “My Daughter
the Terrorist” at the Durham International Film
festival the very day that Minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle
was attacked by a LTTE suicide bomber.
Norwegian
Producer Beate Arnestad’s movie openly glorified
the greatness of suicide bombing. Time was uncanny and
sickening, said an American observer. Billed as an apogee
of enchanting weapon by the LTTE, the organizers are now
eating their own words which ignored the protests of thousands.
It
gave recognition to a display of pathetic poor public
taste by the vicious LTTE. They have once again laid bare
its true face as a savage terrorist outfit through a dastardly
attack on a sports event, killing Minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle,
the National Athletics Coach Lakshman de Alwis, Olympic
runner K. A. Karunarante
"The
LTTE website Tamilnet has unashamedly admitted how she
was forcibly kidnapped as an infant for the ignominious
role of being a suicide bomber.
Is
the US shedding crocodile tears now? Has the US metamorphosed
overnight into a repentant sinner after being a supporter
of a sinister plot by the LTTE to parade suicide bombing
as a virtue showing the brave mind of a girl dying for
a worthy cause?
We
know that the Norwegian producer Beate Arnestad had arrived
in Sri Lanka during the Cease Fire Agreement period and
entered Wanni without the permission of the Foreign Ministry
or any responsible state body for the filming of the movie
compared to a Lambrandt painting
It
is reported here that the LTTE is trying to show that
movie in several cities. The US Ambassador must impress
upon his government to stop this mockery of condemning
suicide bombing and allowing it to be glorified.
