An LTTE female suicide bomber killed 28 people and injured 64 others, including 40 civilians, at an IDP rescue center in Mullaitivu. The bombing targeted Tamil civilians who had fled LTTE control to escape the hardships and seek refuge. Pictures from the scene show the Sri Lankan army providing medical assistance to injured civilians, including a traumatized mother. The bombing exposes that the LTTE's supposed liberation struggle does not spare civilians and continues to feed on the people it claims to represent.
