An LTTE female suicide bomber detonated explosives at an IDP rescue center in Mullaitivu, killing 28 people including civilians and 3 female soldiers. The LTTE continues to target and kill Tamil civilians despite claiming to fight for their liberation. Many Tamils have fled the LTTE out of fear and undergone hardship to escape their tyranny. However, some diaspora groups and organizations continue funding the LTTE and ignore their crimes against Tamil civilians.
