As unarmed affected   civilians in the town began running in all directions hysterically, many lay   dead or bleeding with no knowledge of what was going around, as the   terrorists made their way towards the sacred Bo Tree for another heinous   crime.    Those armed terrorists then   sprayed both the upper layer (Uda Maluwa) and the lower layer (Pahala Maluwa)   with bullets, causing the entire sacred place splattered with blood, as   scores of meditating and worshiping Buddhist nuns, white-clad observers of   eight precepts and other devotees lay dead or unconscious after struck by   terrorist bullets.   All in all 120 Sinhalese   civilians, for no fault of theirs fell dead in the face of terrorist bullets.   Another 85 sought admission to hospitals due to severe injuries, perpetrated   on them by terrorists who stormed both the town centre and the sacred   premises within a matter of minutes.<img src="http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/1326/12828773mv4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/3811/17283798ot6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8113/85617674vj0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Just as much as the Sacred Tooth   Relic of Lord Buddha is considered to be the symbol of sovereignty, the   sacred Jaya Siri Maha Bodhi too is said to safeguard the sovereignty and the   territorial integrity of Sri Lanka.       The Sacred Jaya Siri Maha Bodhi   in Anuradhapura is   reckoned as the oldest surviving historical tree in the world. It was brought   to Sri Lanka   by the Theri Sangamitta, daughter of Emperor Asoka and was planted in the Mahameghavana Park in Anuradhapura   in 249 BC by King Devanampiyatissa. It is said to be the southern branch of   the Jaya Siri Maha Bodhi at Buddha Gaya in India   under which Lord Buddha attained Enlightenment</blockquote>
