The Brutality of War

Mobile phone footage emerged of what appears to be Tamil prisoners, hands bound and stripped naked, being shot dead by Sri Lankan soldiers.

The images are thought to have been filmed during the final stages of Sri Lanka's quarter century battle against separatist activists Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The bloody conflict, which claimed over 8,000 lives in 2009, came to an end in May last year following a final military push and the subsequent death of Tamil leader.
