Military is a profession that respects and hold rich customs and etiquette. It is these customs and etiquette and their resultant ethical behaviour that distinguish a professional military from a bunch of murderers or a terrorist outfit. Moreover for an outfit as such, military ethics may be viewed as something that can be manipulated to gain propaganda mileage. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam or the LTTE is one such terror outfit that often deprave military ethics in the meanest manner to further its sinister motives.
Many pro LTTE websites reported one such shameful drama enacted by the LTTE terrorists at their sanctum sanctorum in Wanni. The reports said that the LTTE had cremated eleven bodies of "SL army soldiers" killed in recent clashes in Omanthai with "military honours". Further, the reports blamed SL army for not accepting the bodies once they had sent through ICRC and denying an honourable funeral to those who sacrificed their life in battle. The defence.lk learnt from senior defence officials that this was another abominable trick of the LTTE leadership to bring discredit to SL army as well as to dupe his own cadres. We were further edified on the issue as we learnt some of the highly classified information on the LTTE's behaviour towards its
own cadre through intelligence sources.Defence sources have recently revealed, how the LTTE leadership denied the final rights to one of his senior most cadres, Sinnathambi Kanapathipille Shivamoorthi alias "Colonel Nagulan". Self styled colonel Nagulan was killed along with six other LTTE cadres by the army at Eravur in Batticaloa on 23rd May 2007. Self styled Major Maniwannan Master, the LTTE's intelligence coordinator for Batticaloa; and LTTE female cadre Mala, a senior member of LTTE's Sothiya band were also killed in the same confrontation.
