Sri Lanka Tamil killings 'ordered from the top'

Exclusive: a senior Sri Lankan army commander and frontline soldier tell Channel 4 News that point-blank executions of Tamils at the end of the Sri Lankan civil war were carried out under orders. In August 2009 Channel 4 News obtained video evidence, later authenticated by the United Nations, purporting to show point-blank executions of Tamils by uniformed Sri Lankan soldiers. Now a senior army commander and a frontline soldier have told Channel 4 News that such killings were indeed ordered from the top. One frontline soldier said: "Yes, our commander ordered us to kill everyone. We killed everyone." http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/politics/international_politics/sri+lanka+option/3652687
