It took place when around 30 armed persons raided four mosques in the town of Kattankudy, where over 300 people were prostrating in Isha prayers. The attack is attributed to LTTE by the Sri Lankan Government, who denied their involvement in the massacre, and have never retracted that denial. The initial report put the death toll at around 100, but as many of the injured who were rushed to hospital succumbed to their injuries, the final death toll rose to over 147.
