#1 Pic and address deleted -- ... sad pic, but no proof. Exhibitions of this type do not win guilty verdicts at Rantburg.

#2 What pic and address? There was none in the original article -- I checked. And why are Tamil kids fighting with the Tamil Tigers, anyway? Should they not be kept safely at home while the grownups do the fighting?

#3 Child fighters appear to be pretty useful, unfortunately. They aren't good fighters, but they're OK for terrorizing civilians, and adult fighters have some issues about shooting kids or getting wounded by them--it is very bad for morale. I don't know how they'd stack up against a well-trained army, but apparently having a group of stoned kids shooting at you from the jungle was pretty hard on Liberian soldiers.

#4 Tamil Net admits the LTTE turns kidnapped children into suicide bombers
The semi-official organ of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE), the Tamil Net, admitted that a suicide cadre of their organization, known as a Black Tigress about whom a Norwegian documentary film has been made was a child kidnapped at the age of 12 years.

Outrage over child soldiers in Sri Lanka
The Tamil Tiger rebels have long been known to use child soldiers in their extended campaign against the Sri Lankan government. The average age of the Tigers' child soldiers, according to UNICEF, is 16 years old.

Tamil Tigers kidnap 21 children

Child soldiers still being recruited
Over 1,189 child soldiers below the age of 16, recruited by the LTTE from the North and East, are still in LTTE custody, UNICEF official told the Sunday Observer.

The LTTE are anal byproducts of humanity and the quicker they are put down the better off will be civilization.
