SRI LANKA ARMED FORCES RELEIF FOUNDATION (SLAFRF) WOULD LIKE TO ALL PEACE LOVING SRI LANKANS TO TAKE PART IN THIS WORLD WIDE REQUEST TO SIGN THIS PETITION IN FAVOUR OF FREEDOM AND HUMAN RIGHTS AND TO FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISAM OF THE LTTE IN SRI LANKA.

Killing innocent civilians have always been 'fair play' for sick LTTE Tamil terrorists since the beginning of the conflict in Sri Lanka, particularly just after suffering a setback at the hands of the Sri Lankan army. The most recent cases being when they exploded a massive truck bomb killing over 100 people and injuring over 1000 in Colombo on 31 Jan 1996, soon after loosing control of Jaffna peninsula and exploding another massive truck bomb and shooting unarmed security guards killing 12 civilians on 15 October 1997, just as they were loosing the battle to halt the Sri Lankan army clearing a land route to Jaffna peninsula.
