1985 Valvettiturai massacre
Massacre in Sri Lanka
The 1985 Valvettiturai massacre happened on May 12, 1985 after 2 landmine attacks killed 10 soldiers and an officer in Valvettiturai. 70 minority Sri Lankan Tamil civilians from the town of Valvettithurai, Sri Lanka were rounded up. They were asked to go inside the town library and then the library was blown up by the Sri Lankan Army, killing all of them. The LTTE would later apparently retaliate in Anuradhapura.
