October 1995 Eastern Sri Lanka massacres
Terrorist attacks by the Tamil Tigers
The October 1995 massacres were carried out by the LTTE, an organization which has been banned in 33 countries including the US, Australia, EU, India and Canada due to its terrorist activities.
These massacres occurred at small villages in the Eastern province of Sri Lanka.[1] These massacres formed part of a series of massacres aimed at driving Sinhalese civilians from the Eastern province of Sri Lanka in the process of ethnic cleansing.[citation needed]
