Defence.lk at several occasions have highlighted that LTTE terrorists are forcing civilians to perform military tasks for them. Many civilians who had managed to escape from terrorists clutches in Wanni have told our reporters in Mannar that LTTE terrorists even order elderly people and pregnant women to take part in sentry duties, pickets, road clearances, etc due to serious shortage of man power. However, those stooges of terrorism in media have been barring these stories purposely, as they would expose the LTTE's true face to the world.

While so called professional journalists like Anita Prathap, are continuing to harp one sided stories about the discrimination against Tamils in Sri Lanka, a recent finding by army shows what the media silence on LTTE atrocities, has caused to innocent Tamils living under the jackboot of terrorism.

In a recent battle with LTTE terrorists in the East of Pallaikuli, troops have found few toys, feeding equipment and a dress of a baby girl inside a bunker they had captured during their advance. Defence.lk special correspondent in the Mannar said that this is clear evidence that LTTE terrorists have now started to deploy civilians, right at the frontline disregarding their safety. He said that a breast-feeding mother might have been kept in the bunker with her child to provide assistance to the terrorists.

According to the information obtained from civilian sources in the LTTE dominated areas during recent past, most of the cadres deployed in the frontlines were females and child soldiers that had been forcibly conscripted to the organization. While the seasoned cadres have chosen to hide themselves in the back; these young females and child soldiers have been orders to carryout attacks at the security forces. Our correspondent is in the view that the terrorist leadership must have decided to provide reinforcements to its loosing frontlines with civilians, including breast-feeding mothers and their babies, instead of seasoned cadres. .

The pictures show the extent to which a terrorist outfit can be harmful to human society, when their sympathisers living in safe heavens enjoy sadistic pleasure by regurgitating inane arguments to justify their causes.
