There is a lot of buzz out there, some folks poking fun. Others, more serious.
I’m just glad the pictures are blurred, because this must have been bloody. This is a 24-year-old woman, Sujatha Vagawanam, on a mission to kill a Sri Lankan cabinet member. First few photos show her sitting calmly in the office of the Social Services Minister Douglas Devananda, on the day he sets aside to hear complaints from members of the public. She calmly walked in, and answered questions directed to her by Devananda’s 72-year old aide, Steven Peiris. Then she blows them both up.
She wears a yellow sari and a white shawl, and puts her right arm up to her right shoulder, and apparently pulls the trigger to explode the bomb.
Personally, I’d like to know more about what triggered this. Excuse the pun.
She was apparently a Tamil Tiger, one of the ‘rebels’ who’ve been fighting since 1983 to create a separate homeland for Sri Lanka’s minority ethnic Tamils following decades of discrimination by governments controlled by the Sinhalese majority.
Does this sound racist to you? Why can’t they all get along?
According to the AP’s article,
The group, branded a terror organization by the U.S. and European Union, is responsible for more than 240 suicide bombings as well as scores of other deadly attacks.
They should make good candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize, then.
It is a Hindu organization, and is supposedly ‘secular’. There are differences of opinion as to whether or not they are affiliated with Al Qaeda, but their methods seem to be eerily similar.

People like to think there is no “terror threat” here and that all of us “Wing Nuts” are using fear to manipulate politically.
Well, this sort of thing seems pretty easy to pull off when you see it on film and since no one wants to be politically incorrect and protect and secure our nation… we will see this happening here! I wonder what the tree hugging, politically correct moonbats will be saying then about
“terror threats” , especially if their loved ones get hurt or killed? How quickly they forget the lessons that should have been learned when the twin towers fell, the Pentegon was hit, and Flight 93 when down with 40 heroic US citizens on board. That is what makes me want to slap down a “denier” when they spew their tripe. Still, I exercise control.
Exactly. Nobody suspected this young woman, of course, and although he was waving her to sit in a chair, all she needed to do was reach up and pull the trigger. Nobody was paying enough attention to stop it. She could have been adjusting her bra strap.
It is my prayer that the moonbats are killed first, but I doubt that terrorists even care. They’re all about destroying our freedom OF religion, and our cultural freedom…sharia law is fascist…completely foreign to what Americans know, even though leftists accuse Bush of being fascist.
They don’t even know what it is.
