SLMIC (UK) Condemns the LTTE suicide attacks

(March 13, Lodnon, Sri Lanka Guardian) 'We, the Sri Lankan Muslim Information Centre UK condemn the suicide attack of the LTTE terrorist, on those who gathered to celebrate the Milad-un-Nabi Muslim Festival marking the birthday of the Holy Prophet Mohammed, at the Godapitiya Jumma mosque in Akuressa Godapitiya, around 10 a.m on the 10th of March 2009,' the SLMIC(UK) said in a press statement.

According to the statement, "the Muslims from the North, East and the North Central provinces have been subjected to the LTTE’s wide spread genocidal activities since 1990. It is on record that the LTTE has constantly attacked the worshippers at the Hijar Mosque, Oddamavadi,; Jairiya Mosque , Sammanthurai ; Meeraniya Jumma Mosque and Hussainiya Mosque, Kattankudy; Akkaraipattu Mosque and killed hundreds of Muslims including children, and this heinous act of terror on those who gathered to mark a religious occasion will be another addendum to the LTTE terrorism against the Muslims of Sri Lanka."

"We express our deep sympathies and condolences to the families who grieve the loss of their loved ones whilst praying for the speedy recovery of those who were injured in this barbaric suicide attack.

"We also urge all the Sri Lankans to unite irrespective of their religion, race and ethnicity to eliminate the LTTE terrorism in Sri Lanka. -Sri Lanka Guardian
