Colombo (dpa) - Eleven Muslim civilians were hacked to death with swords in eastern Sri Lanka, military officials said Monday, adding that they suspected Tamil rebels were behind the attack.

However, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) denied it was responsible and blamed government troops for the massacre. The military has a long tradition of blaming the separatist rebels for its own atrocities, the LTTE charged.

The victims were employed to repair a dam in an irrigation canal in Panama, Potuvil, 340 kilometres east of Colombo, when they were abducted, military officials said.

The men had gone missing on Sunday and the bodies were found Monday, apparently hacked with machetes.

I thought Muslims had no natural enemies in the wild. I guess they have one to watch out for, other than other Muslims.

And of course we all believe them, because they never ever lie.

Muslim killing here, Muslim killing there;
Muslim killing everywhere.

Such a religion. Muslims should be proud of themselves.

the Pope snuck in there and did it.

Must be Rosie O's "radical Christians."

I think that they are supposedly from Christian and Hindu families but they oppose religion. They are Marxist-Leninists.

The big question here: Why is there no Muslim outrage over this? The pope quotes from a Byzantine emporer and the Muslimaniacs are off on a killing spree. These Tamil thugs machete a bunch of Muslims to death and not a peep out of the Global Ummah.

Dead Muslim = Good Muslim

LTTE is a internationally-recognized terrorist group.

You support this, you are objectively pro-terrorist.

[zimdog]

Since you apparently approve of beheading people, perhaps you should rethink your place in a forum called "Free Republic".

Who says there isn't?
