Sri Lanka. Jaffna Peninsula. Inuvil Village!
It might not be very well-known.
But in the annals of global counter-terrorism, this place holds some infamy.
The leader of the Tiger Organization, the short and stout Velupillai Prabakaran, was born here.
After rising to fame, he gave back to his hometown—the entire village was filled with small Western-style mansions, with a statue of him at the center, arms akimbo, gazing disdainfully toward Colombo.
But at this moment...
The village was deathly silent. No, there were faint, muffled sobs.
Hundreds of villagers squatted in the open space at the village's center, their terrified eyes darting to the soldiers encircling them. These soldiers had masks covering their heads and were armed with U.S. M4 carbines.
An elderly man, his hair white as snow, dangled from a rope in the center. A dagger was lodged in his mouth, his head thrown back, eyes open wide in a death stare, with the last vestiges of despair frozen in his gaze.
