These pictures show the real story behind reported "Shelling of Civilians" by the Army in Sri Lanka's civil war. These scenes were staged and released to the internantional media by the LTTE (a proscribed Terrorist organization) to discredit the armed forces. The first picture shown here was release on international media including the BBC, sighting as evidence of violation of international human rights law by the Sri Lankan government against its own Tamil people. judge for yourself the reality (see the girl holding the camera on the right of the 2nd picture, she's having a laugh)
