Talk:Sainthamaruthu shootout

Two different events
Hi i think those are 2 separate events happened in 2 seperate days — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandrani876 (talk • contribs) 02:39, 28 April 2019 (UTC) These are two different events and the raid with the militants definetly deserve a special article. The raid itself has more to do with organzied militants hiding out than the easter attack — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandrani876 (talk • contribs) 03:25, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Civilian Casuality
Is there any reason why children are being specified separately to civilian casualty? None of the referenced sources indicates the children were enemy combatants, so it would be safe to assume that they were civilian casualties. -- Eng. M.Bandara -Talk  02:01, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Because when suicide bombers kill their own children, it shows the depravity associated with their twisted belief in religion. The only children mentioned in the article are the bombers' children. WWGB (talk) 02:14, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Your own personal beliefs about killing children are not relevant here. Unless there is any WP:RS to demonstrate the children identified within the source were active combatants they should be included as part of civilian casualties in my opinion. -- Eng. M.Bandara -Talk  02:33, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Um, it's not a "personal belief", any civilised person would agree that killing children is immoral. WWGB (talk) 02:37, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * like I said, you beliefs or morals are not relevant. You're not addressing the issue raised here. -- Eng. M.Bandara -Talk  02:41, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Here is a bunch of reliable international sources (WP:GNG) which emphasise that the dead included children:        WWGB (talk) 02:48, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You clearly still have not understood the issue here, what I am trying to ascertain is whether the children were active combatants or not. IF not they should be included as part of civilian casualties. The sources indicate 3 suicide bombers plus another 3 that were Person of interest, with 15 being killed that would produce 9 civilian casualties. -- Eng. M.Bandara -Talk  02:59, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I have taken another look at the cited source [], it appears in total 16 died, 15 combatants and 1 civilian; and 2 combatants were injured -- Eng. M.Bandara -Talk  05:09, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

NTJ stash of contraband
The NTJ stash of contraband was found at another location (with similar name) not this, why does the aftermath of this include that. Also, I think it would be relevant to include the subsequent house to house raids which resulted in possible linkage to the killing of 2 police officers in November 18. -- Eng.
