Srilankan airstrikes render over 50,000 homeless MIL/Agencies, Apr 27, 2006. Colombo, Sri Lanka, Apr. 27 - The Sri Lanka Govt. who is bombing the area of Tamil Rebels to kill their maximum operating points have forgotten that the strategy of their miscalculation could target thousands of innocent civilians. Their miscalculation hascompelled over 50,000 people to leave their homes to flee to safer place like northeastern Sri Lanka. The rebels, formally known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or LTTE must be taught a lesson, a govt. official said in anonymity. He said, " The govt. is doing all this in rebuttal to the Tamil Rebels for their act of deploying suicide bomb which targeted the top Sri Lankan army commander on Tuesday and attacks on navy craft the following day. However, the innocent civilians do not want to become the victims of the Govt. bombing. They have left home by running away to other places to save their lives. But the Govt. seems to have no consideration to this point that over 50,000 innocent civilians haave been hit and rendered homeless. The Tamil rebels said in a statement."This terror atmosphere that has been created throughout the Tamil homeland has shattered the Tamil people". As per Dilip Ganguly, Assicate Press, Tigers fought a two-decade civil war in an attempt to create a Tamil homeland in northeastern Sri Lanka, claiming discrimination by the majority ethnic Sinhalese. A Norway-brokered truce halted large-scale fighting in 2002, but disputes over postwar power sharing have hindered peace talks, and sporadic violence has raised tensions in recent months.
