Reports said that the LTTE timed the attack to coincide with the rioting of Black July in 1983, in which 1000 of Tamils were killed by Sinhalese mobs. Even though the Tamil rebellion far preceded the attack in history, this is considered the start of the Sri Lankan Civil War. The rebels launched this attack on Sri Lanka's key military target and country's only international airport.
