The defeated LTTE terrorists have once again revealed their cowardice by targeting civilians in a bomb blast in public transport. This is just two days after they lost their forward defense line in the north front and completely lost their territory of Madu area south of the tiger den. Since terrorists are no longer capable of facing security forces, their only option is to try and inflict physical fear towards the civilians by mass murdering and killing. Of course there is hired media mafia backed by INGO’s in the south to transfer this physical fear in to fear psychosis in the society aiming at jeopardizing the victory against terrorists.
This is not the first bomb blast in public transport. We all must be shameful as a nation that we are still unable to stop this nuisance of terrorists. First, we should understand that all these bombs were targeting at civilians and it is our responsibility to defend our lives. It is clear that security forces can do very little in preventing this type of coward acts. Unfortunately some of Sri Lankans are so miserable that do not even value their own lives.
You do not need rocket science or complicated procedures to prevent this type of coward acts. But the success is highly depended on the collective responsibility of the nation rather than letting it to the hands of security forces or government. Most of these bomb blasts in the busses were resulted in parcels that were kept in the racks in the buses. Once the parcels are kept in racks, it is very difficult to track the owner of the parcel/bag and the culprits can easily sneak away. The worst thing is that the same person can involve in hundreds of bomb blasts of similar manner.
We should remember that unlike in the past, now we are witnessing a war that is winning day by day and forces are gradually advancing towards the den of Prabhakaran, the psychopath leader of the LTTE. The war is definitely going to be ended within less than one year. So can’t we be self disciplined and defend our selves from this type of coward attacks?
Vigilance and check ups are important. But check ups are more appropriate for long tour busses rather than short distance travels especially in rush hours. However banning parcels and bags being kept in the racks of the busses and trains will greatly reduce the risk of bomb threats by goons who are targeting this type of coward attacks. Of course people may come up with different complaints and pro LTTE campaigners will try to fabricate various theories against this type of proactive measures.
Our brave soldiers are sacrificing their lives to defeat the terrorists and bring about lasting peace to the country. If we can be self disciplined for our own safety, then we are just a bunch of miserables. By the way, chances are that you may not be the last one to be died in a public transport vehicle, so better think about this sooner rather than later.
