Bati Hindu priest killed by tigers,LTTE. Any one can disagree. There is no news about it in Tamilnet. and nothing about sinhala traitors (journalists)in colombo who helped LTTE. Now .. LTTErs can say it was a work of security forces or Kuruna faction'!.

good improvement in run rate.
from average 9 deaths/day (in 2006) to 5 deaths a day(Jan 2007).
for Motta Rala loyalists something to celebrate.

Well there is a report in tamilnet 48 hrs after the incident (YES, THAT RIGHT. IT TOOK 48 HOURS FOR THIS NEWS TO REACH THE TAMILNET). According to tamilnet this is the work of SLA, because the priest was reluctant and the army had to go though the trouble of "forcing" him to garlend president. This I guess is a perfectly logical explanation to the LTTE . to be convinced that, yes this indeed was the work of the SLA.

Keep it up people. Keep pumping those hard earned foreign currency to the LTTE to continue with their great work!!!!
