    Sri Lankan Sinhala soldiers who were removed from Muttur Town by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had launched bomb attacks on the St. Anthony's Church where more than 600 Tamils have taken refuge, local sources said. Three people were killed and the other hundreds escaped by a hairline, sources added. Buddhist Butchers had in the past bombed St. Peter's Church in Jaffna killing hundreds, massacred hundreds at the Holy Madhu Church and recently murdered five people at the island?s largest church located in Pesalai, Mannar.
