On April 17, Tamil militants, about 40 to 60 in number, stationed themselves along a stretch of jungle highway between the cities of Trincomalee and Habarana. Disguised as government troops, they stopped three buses, two trucks and a van with altogether 200 passengers. Later, reports emerged that 127 bodies had been found on the spot. All the victims were reported to be Sinhalese. Later reports emerged that those who perished in that attack were Sri Lankan soldiers and their families returning from leave after celebrating Buddhist New Year festivals in Colombo.
Lalit also kept telling Jayewardene that an example should be made of Pulendran as he was the leader of the LTTE squad which had killed 126 bus commuters at Habarana and Kithulotowa in April 1987. Orders were issued to the Sri Lankan brigadier commanding the Palaly base, Jayaratne, to send to Colombo these cadres for whom a special plane was being sent.

There is no legitimate dispute that Pulendran was behind the bus attack. If there is no reliable source saying that the government's account is false, readers should not be misled into thinking that there is a controversy about it. See WP:WEIGHT. THF ( talk) 15:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I also note that the claim that there is a controversy over whether Pulendran was responsible for the massacre violates WP:NOR, since the dispute is entirely the invention of Wikipedia editors, rather than reliable sources. THF ( talk) 16:20, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
