There is one thing I do know, and it is that Mossad is in Sri Lanka.
Maybe that explains the lack of coverage MSM and the resultant violence, 'eh?
"Sri Lanka says 67 die in jungle fighting
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - Sri Lankan troops launched a major attack yesterday against Tamil rebel fortifications, sparking clashes that killed 57 insurgents and 10 soldiers, the military said. The Tamil Tigers said more than 100 soldiers were killed.
Government forces have seized a large area of rebel-held territory in recent months and backed the Tigers into small areas in the lush jungles of the island nation's northeast. However, troops have been locked in heavy battles at the edge of Kilinochchi - the rebel administrative capital - for nearly two months. The government said last month the fall of Kilinochchi was "imminent."
The army killed 57 insurgents and lost 10 soldiers in a bid to capture an earth berm fortification erected by the rebels to protect their de facto capital, military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said. With most communication cut to rebel areas, Tiger spokesmen could not be reached for comment.

"Sri Lanka's ignored war
ASIA'S longest civil war is building to a violent crescendo. In the island nation of Sri Lanka, the Sinhalese-majority government should be pressed to accept a cease-fire, to permit a political settlement.
Government forces are besieging the rebel Tamil Tigers in the north of the country. Since abandoning a ceasefire in 2006 and a Norwegian-sponsored peace process earlier this year, President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his brother, Defense Minister Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, have been vaunting their intention to crush the Tigers once and for all.
There is little chance the brothers' military campaign will produce anything other than a new phase of protracted guerrilla warfare. Meanwhile, over 200,000 civilians have been uprooted from their homes. On ground flooded by monsoon rains, they struggle to survive in frail lean-tos, dependent on aid agencies that operate under the Sri Lankan army's severe restrictions.
Both sides have abused civilians. The Sri Lankan military has bombed and shelled villages, schools, hospitals.
Those are WAR CRIMES!!!!
An official of the World Food Program told the BBC recently that conditions for displaced people in the northern conflict zone are "as basic as in Somalia."
Translation; the situation is AWFUL!!
See: Somalia: Worse Than Darfur
And Human Rights Watch has accused the Tigers of preventing 230,000 displaced civilians from fleeing the war zone so they can be used as human shields, and to provide a pool of potential recruits.
Tamil civilians of northern Sri Lanka are suffering a man-made disaster. Ethnic or nationalistic pride should not be allowed to inflict such suffering on civilians who committed no crime but to be trapped in a war zone.
And what of the poor Gazans, MSM?
Only when the shooting stops can Sri Lanka's government pursue a lasting peace - by granting the Tamils meaningful autonomy in their homelands.
And the Palestinians are different why?
