LTTE attack on schools condemned

COLOMBO: The Ceylon Teachers' Service Union in a media communique has severely condemned the LTTE mortar attacks on school buildings in Mutur and Thoppur killing 18 and critically injuring more than 60 civilians who were displaced and taking refuge inside these buildings.

The LTTE who are ravaged by the pending shameful defeat are targeting innocent civilians of all communities and intentionally destroying academic institutions of the future generation where the displaced civilians take refuge.

This is a part of their strategy to harass schoolchildren, teachers and principals who defy their terrorist demands.
