One national NRCS volunteer was abducted and murdered in the island's army-held northern Jaffna peninsula. The victim was abducted by unidentified gunmen from his Jaffna home on Friday in front of his family, and his corpse was found on Sunday. Nordic truce monitors blame state security forces for the killings. "Definitely this (latest killing) must have been done by the LTTE to discredit the military and to show that we did it, so we deny that," said a military spokesman. Means of attack recorded as kidnap-killing. Context individual attack. Source: Aid Worker Security Database, incident 587.
