| CHURCH leaders in Sri Lanka have denounced the terror campaign that killed 24 and left 80 civilians wounded last week. Since the ceasefire between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) broke down on Jan 16 more than 200 civilians have been killed in terror attacks, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports.
“Killing of any human being is unacceptable but the killing of innocent civilians is abominable. We vehemently condemn these acts of wanton violence and terrorism,” a June 9 joint statement from the country’s Anglican and Roman Catholic bishops said.
