It took one whole day to identify the reason for the shooting. Sounds Fishy!

Hope it's not a war crime!

High time to educate soldiers (all over the world)who are below standard, if at all possible to identify.

This kind of incidents have taken place many times in the past (during war period). Those who have lost their brothers, husbands know and most of cases prosecuted in military court.

Have to be careful when you deal with armed personals, a silly incident can take a life of another because we should not forget that not all soldiers have the same education level or see the value of life.

It won't be a war crime as dead people are sinhalese. If they were Tamil all the NGOs and Human Rights groups will shout

Hmm, these must be some withnesses of war crimes. Someone may be is trying to get rid of the poor guys to save themselfs from going to the electric chair.

If dead person is tamil we will label him as terorist, without investigation.
