Message: <blockquote data-quote="rapa" data-source="post: 18766" data-attributes="member: 212">Aftermath of Sri Kfir BombingSri Lankan government is "in" for a fierce media battle with powerful LTTE propaganda machinery over the bombing of the Vallupunam camp at Mullathivu. Tamilnet increased their death toll to 61 and wounded to 129. TRO and fairly unheard entity "ITRO" had taken some handpicked foreign individuals representing some donor agencies to the scene and comments were, quite obviously, not far from what LTTE wants the world to believe. Today (Aug 15 th) morning interview given by Minister Keheliya Rambukwella to the BBC World Radio was satisfactory but was still lacking few practical points. 1)      If they were all schoolgirls, why this training was not held in respective schools?2)      Is it usual for Tamil girls of these ages (not kids, but have attained age) to wear pair of shorts underneath their frocks?3)      Why they were wearing dark colored frocks instead white uniforms?4)      In an era of frequent aerial raids by fighter jets, what was the necessity to conduct first aid, life and leadership skills training at 7 am at this fairly jungle covered setup with unmarked roofs?5)      ITRO statement contains a total of 428 participant girls. Chencholai Girls Home number not mentioned and therefore not added to above sum. If it were, total would have been around 500. Where are the corresponding boys? (Humans have fairly equal numbers of children from both genders). ITRO must act now to disclose the boys training camps before being bombed by same jets at any moment.6)      Why only girls were given "leadership" training?7)      It's fairly a long time since tsunami hit. Why are they still receiving "in-house" leadership training? Tsunami hit the South also in equal ferocity and more numbers died here, but, it's very unlikely that there are more than 500 orphan AND girls in one location for so long.  8)      The statement says "These children were preparing to go back to their homes" and 16 bombs fell on them. Time mentioned by same source was 7 am. Children go home when the training is over, it was 7 am morning, training had been an overnight one! 500 girls to receive leadership and first aid training overnight?9)      ITRO should take one more vital step in enforcing their claim. They have to show the documentary evidence of registering these children with world refugee, humanitarian, tsunami relief, ICRC and other donor agencies with dates.10)  Can deaf & blind be trained in first aid? Could they be trained with other good ones together?</blockquote>
