On Wednesday Al-Jazeera telecast photographs showing piles of bodies of  those allegedly executed during the final stages of the war in the  North. The government rejected these photographs with Media Minister Keheliya  Rabukwella saying the images were nothing new but a repeat telecast of  the channel-4 video footage. The government has questioned the authenticity of these photographs  obtained from a number of unverified sources, depicting war crimes and  torture during the final stages of the war. The government claimed that  hese were malicious attempts to discredit the victory of the Sri Lankan  forces.<a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/7731-al-jazeera-denied-visa.html" target="_blank">dailymirror</a></blockquote>
