LTTE brutal attack to the Temple of Tooth marks 14 years
25 Jan 2012 - 13:13

Today (25th January 2012) marks the LTTE brutal attack on the most Sacred Temple of Tooth Relic in the ancient city Kandy in 1998.At 6:10 am on 25th January 1998, suicide carders of the LTTE exploded a massive truck bomb at the entrance to the Sri Dalada Maligawa killing 8 persons including 2-year old infant and injuring about 25 others, all peaceful innocent civilians, who were on their way to offer alms at the temple that morning.

The destruction caused to the venerated shrine by the LTTE terrorists was thoroughly condemned by the whole world and attacking to the people through their faith can not be erased from the heart and minds of the Buddhists world.
