Turning tables on terrorism
We, the ordinary Sri Lankans, knew without an iota of doubt who assassinated Minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle and why they did so. But a small minority of individuals - certain discredited politicians and biased journalists among them - in the immediate aftermath of the attack which was carried out by a suicide bomber (the suicide bomber is the hallmark of LTTE terror) tried to obfuscate the real state of affairs by diverting public attention elsewhere.
While the majority grieved over the death of Mr Fernandopulle and fourteen others with him in a terrorist suicide bombing at the start of a sports event at Welisara that fateful morning on Sunday 6th April, these malicious people seemed to gloat over the mayhem (with a self-congratulatory sense of being vindicated no doubt).
In order to play down the gruesome carnage they depicted it as yet another incident in what they claim to be a pattern of tit for tat violence between the Government and the LTTE; and by refusing to unequivocally blame the terrorist organization for the crime they insinuated that the government could have some complicity in it.
Browsing different websites on the Internet only a few hours after the bus bombing at Piliyandala today (25th April) I saw hints of the same sort of response from covert champions of terror shedding crocodile tears.
