Kattankudy mosque massacre

The Kattankudy Mosque Massacre was the killing of over 147〔''Xinhua'', 147 Muslims Massacred by Tamil "Tigers" in Sri Lanka, Colombo, ''August 3, 1990''〕 Muslim men and boys in a Mosque in Kattankudy by LTTE cadres on August 3, 1990.〔〔(Sri Lanka: The Northeast: Human rights violations in a context of armed conflict )〕〔''The New York Times'', Tamils Kill 110 Muslims at 2 Sri Lankan Mosques, ''August 5, 1990''〕〔''The Times'', Tamils kill 116 Muslims, ''August 13, 1990''〕〔''Associated Press'', Tamil Rebels Order Muslims to Leave City, ''June 17, 1995''〕 It took place when around 30 Tamil rebels raided four mosques in the town of Kattankudy, where over 300 people were prostrating in Isha prayers. The attack is widely attributed to LTTE, who denied their involvement in the massacre, and have never retracted that denial.
==Background==
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, is a militant rebel organization which had been fighting Sri Lanka since 1975 in order to establish a separate state in the North and East of the country. After intermittent conflict throughout the 1980s, peace talks began in 1989 to bring about a negotiated settlement to the conflict. However the talks eventually broke down, and the LTTE broke the 13-month ceasefire on June 11, attacking numerous government targets such as Police stations.〔 They also began attacking Muslim villages, and burning their shops and homes, suspecting them of supporting the government. On July 24, Tamil Tiger cadres murdered four Muslims at a mosque in the Batticaloa District. On July 29, Tiger cadres killed 10 worshipers in Sammanthurai, 25 miles east of the town of Batticaloa.〔
In August 1990, they issued a warning to the citizens of Kattankudy, a majority Muslim town 140 miles east of Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka.〔 The warning stated that they should vacate the town "or face death".〔 At the time, of the 60,000 residents of the relatively prosperous Kattankudy, 90 per cent were Muslim.〔''BBC News, Army to protect threatened eastern Muslim town, ''June 24, 1995''〕
