'LTTE fighters wore Indian uniforms'

[Skyline]

The LTTE fighters were dressed in Indian army uniforms during the final battles of the nearly three-decade-long civil war, former Sri Lankan army chief Sarath Fonseka has said. In an address to the Foreign Correspondents' Association in Colombo on Tuesday, Fonseka also denied that his troops killed Balachandran, the 12-year-old son of slain LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran. Britain's Channel 4 television network last month released new photographs of what they called Balachandran inside a military bunker having a snack and another frame which showed his bullet riddled body.

"These pictures could have been doctored," Fonseka said. "The bunker where he was looks too tidy and orderly to be one of ours . In the battle field, we did not have the luxury of having such neat and tidy bunkers."

So why were they wearing Indian military uniform ? and Military uniform can be easily bought by anybody isn't it?

It has happened in many cases of terrorism. Even in Pakistan, terrorists used military clothing. Reason is different, not what many might be thinking.

Yep, but why only "Indian" uniforms? May be terrorists got those free from their Indian masters.

There are more important questions to be asked such as those to do with the genocide of innocent civilians and why Hindu temples were bombed by the Sri Lankan army

Is it really important to worry about what color of cloths they wear? They should have been more focused on saving innocent civilian lives rather than ranrting and finding excuse!
