United Nations, New York, 7 January 2010 - Philip Alston, an independent United Nations human rights expert said today there are strong indications that the video of alleged extrajudicial executions by Sri Lankan soldiers that aired last August on British television is authentic, and called for an inquiry into possible war crimes committed during the conflict with Tamil rebels.

    True. Sri Lanka solders are not only bus bombers, they killed people using arial bombing, shelling and all other means they could.

    The area where Tamils were heavily populated are now became 'safety zone' for Sri Lankan army colonization. They rule. They build huge militery bases to destroy Tamil's identity in Sriu Lanka.

    As Sri Lankan president correctly said, Burma is his inspiration. They are now holding Sri Lanka under heavy militery rule presence and family rule
