For nearly three decades they have been killing innocent civilians in the name of their bloody dream, a seperate state within Sri Lanka. Actually they are not rebels or freedom fighters, only terrorists.I salute our brave forces and this time we have a President whom these terrorists can not play with.Well I reckon the govt is just wasting its time, seriously these Tamils won’t give up easily. The govt should be a bit more smart and find another way (not fighting) to resolve this conflict...
