This was the largest massacre of Muslim civilians by the LTTE to date. Village eyewitnesses claim that some 285 men, women and children, around a third of the population, were killed by a 1,000 strong force of the Tamil Tigers;[1] however, the Sri Lankan government states that cadres massacred 166 to 171 people by a force of 150 attackers.[2][3] All but 40 of the victims of the Palliyathidal massacre were Muslim; the rest were Sinhalese.[1] Before the massacre, there growing tension between the LTTE and the Muslim community. The Palliyagodella villagers had asked the Sri Lankan military for protection from LTTE extortion. The Sri Lankan forces issued shotguns to the Muslim villagers but these were inadequate to beat off LTTE attacks. The LTTE threw grenades into mosques killing around 40 people and slaughtered another more with machetes and guns. Forty-five children were among the victims as were pregnant women and their unborn babies. The LTTE called off the massacre at 8 o'clock when army helicopters arrived.[1] Female LTTE cadres and child soldiers were also involved in this attack.[4] Notes1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8180000/8180963.stm|title=Sri Lanka's forgotten massacre|date=3 August 2009|publisher=BBC News|access-date=2 March 2017}} 2. ^1 Letter sent by the Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the Centre for Human Rights, Government of Sri Lanka, 9 August 1994 3. ^SOUTH ASIA INTELLIGENCE REVIEW: Weekly Assessments & Briefings Volume 5, No. 12, October 2, 2006 4. ^MASSACRES IN THE POLONNARUWA DISTRICT Further reading
