‘Al Qaeda, Taliban copying LTTE tactics’- Pakistan Dawn- 2008/09/23

LONDON, Sept 23: Pointing out a number of parallels between the terrorist tactics of LTTE and those of the Al Qaeda-Taliban combine, Sri Lankan Defence spokesman and cabinet minister Keheliya Rambukwella has claimed that the latter has been drawing extensively from Tamil Tigers’ book of terrorist tricks.

Referring to Saturday’s truck bombing of Marriott hotel in Islamabad, Mr Rambukwella said a similar truck bomb of almost similar intensity had been rammed through the gates of Colombo’s Central Bank by LTTE terrorists in 1996, killing 91 people.

Mr Rambukwella was speaking to the media at the Sri Lankan High Commission where Pakistan’s media representatives and correspondents of Pakistan-based media organisations were specially invited.

He claimed that the current technology of a suicide jacket used by Al Qaeda was actually developed by the Tamil Tigers.

He said the Sri Lankan government had now stopped all peace negotiations with the LTTE.

“You see after every truce agreement the LTTE would regroup, rearm and refund itself more vigorously and come back fighting with redoubled force. Exactly the way the Taliban have been doing in Pakistan over the last three years. This tactic also they seem to have learnt from LTTE’s book,” he said answering a question.

To Kilinochchi or Mankulam?- The Nation- 2008/09/07

By admin
This week saw one of the most ferocious battles since the security forces started their campaign to regain the Wanni around mid last year. The LTTE’s much anticipated counter strike was launched along their newly built trench line from the western coastal town Nachchikudah to the deep interior region Akkarayankulam, a fair distance of 18-20 km in length. This trench line, which is mainly an earth bund of around 7-15 feet at certain places, was built in recent times with heavy machinery cutting across shrub jungles. In a series of waves, the LTTE attacked personnel of the Army’s 58 and 57 Divisions last Wednesday in a battle that lasted 36 hours. The LTTE claimed to have killed up to 100 military personnel, while the military initially claimed that only nine soldiers were killed. However, with the LTTE claiming that they had recovered the bodies of 29 soldiers and posted pictures of the dead on pro-LTTE websites, the Army said that ...
