Albina Guarnieri (Mississauga East—Cooksville, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, recent attacks on civilians by the Sri Lankan armed forces have reached a level of atrocity.

கா வே பாலக்குமார் குறிப்பிட்ட தயான் ஜெயதிகவின் முக்கியாமன கட்டுரை- தற்போதய மகிந்த அரசின் போர் யுக்தியைப் புரிந்து கொள்ள உதவும். DEATH OF A THOUSAND CUTS DAYAN JAYATILLEKA April 22 Get this: the founding year of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam was 1976.
