Rescue workers within the Mullaiththeevu Safety Zone have counted more than 1200 bodies after the large scale slaughter Saturday night and Sunday morning by the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) with the use of cluster ammunition, multi-barrel rocket launchers and cannons, sources from Vanni said. The workers fear that there may be additional bodies yet to be uncovered, and the numbers killed will likely rise. Rescue workers also said several hundreds were very seriously injured, and the critical shortage of medicine at the makeshift hospital in Mu'l'li-vaaykkaal will lead to many more deaths. Meanwhile, Mu'l'li-vaaykkaal Hospital staff said, until 3:00 p.m. the number of bodies brought to the hospital was 378, injured totaled 1122. The staffers added that 106 of the dead, and 251 of the injured were children. The casualties and the seriously injured include many elderly, women and children. The bombing which subsided until noon Sunday increased after 12:00 noon when Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) fighter jets carried out two bombing raids at 12:45 p.m. Sunday, sources from inside the safety zone said. Rescue workers said the counting of the dead is continuing and the actual number killed in the worst-ever man inflicted carnage by Sri Lanka state will not be known for a few days. The large scale slaughter is believed to be a result of India prodding Colombo to finish the war before the change of government, political circles in Colombo said adding that the 'war on terror' has appeared to have been translated into 'war on civilians' in the time of Obama Administration.
Thats pretty sad.. However, that ain't nothing compared to the white phosphorous deaths I've seen in Iraq.. It will make your stomach turn Like this (Warning: Graphic): http://www.uruknet.info/uruknet-images/ach5.jpeg http://www.apfn.net/messageboard/03-09-05/ach10.jpeg

the sri lankan rebel militia regularly attack small villages, limb removal and senseless killing is a very common occurance
I hope someday those innocent civilian Tamils are treated like human beings....... at present they are treated like animals or even much worse than that..... There is atleast blue cross to safe guard the animals, but who is there to protect these innocent people, who have done nothing wrong but to have born in that part of sri lanka.... i really don't know actually what UNO is doing in this scenario... I really hope that they feel the taste of freedom very soon.....which they really deserve as human being..... It's high time that UNO does something for them... serving them with food and medical aid alone will not be enough.....
