any group killing innocent people is a terrorist organization...if any body is proud indian they should not support this terrorist group, because they killed our leader. they are the one to introduce suicide bombers.but tamils can not be considered as indian, because they always want to cessade from india
Yes we now about the FBI ans and its weapons of mass deceit. The USA is openly supporting the Racist and genocidal Sri Lankan Government as they have vested in interested in Sri Lanka. They have eyed the strategic Trincaomalle haorbour int eh east and to have powerful broadcasting station in the Puttalam area int eNorth West. Despite large scale and forcible Sinhlaisation many villages inthe Puttalam area especially towards Tamil Mannar are still Tamil. The Usa doesn ot care who the Sinhlas or Tamils are, to them we bioth a bunch of darkies . BUt teh Sri Lankan government has promissed them all these facilities in return to to provide arms economic amd moral support to defeat the LTTe and crush the Tamils. The Trincomalle area especially around the harobour is still Tamil. The large scale ethnci cleansing and Sionhlal colonisations are stil inteh interior of the east bodering the Sinhala districts. The coast and all the important towns are in the hands of the Tamil speakers Hindu or Muslim. The Rajapakse GOvt now wnatas all these lands for teh Sinhlas too and the USa wil not object tp this as it serves its purpose too. US marines were in the Trincomalle naval base soon after teh 2004 Tsaunami. BUt they never hepled the eastern Tamils woh wer the most affected. These people lied and deceived about Iraq to start and unjust war for oil and see aht a mess they made of Iraq. They are now lying abouth the LTTE as they wnat these Tamil lands for strtegic interests.

They know what is really happening in Sri Lanka but are very hypocritical. Has theinternational community especially the west ( USA the EU Japan Canda and Australia) have ever condemned teh Sri lankan government for any of its actions. No they have been ony muted responses the large scale etnic cleansing bombings ( both arile and land) shelling the destrucion of Hindu temples Churches. hospitals homes orphanages and schools in the Tamil areas. They have never condemend the killingskidnapping and rape of thousands of inncoent Tamil civilians. Ghey always come out with muted satements liek this is regretable etc and never highlight this in thoer media. However any thing that is even supected to be th e work of teh LTTE but not proven but later has been found out to be thr work of Sinhla extremists or the SL Army is immediately condemend and their meida highlights thisin thoer TV Radi and News paperrs. Their news is dstorted and halftruths to give the world the wrong image. Of he way they stated that around 70,000 popele died(actually 90000) any one wil think LTTE killed al these people. this is called manipulation of the news to suit thoer purpose. Aorund 90% of these deaths are Tamil civilians killed by the Sri lankan armed ofrces and Sinhla masquareding as SInhla civilians inteh NORth East. Vey few SInhla civilians have been killed. Premadas ws a racist low caste SInhala leader No one has proved LTTE ws the cause of his death, Infact many think it is the work of teh upper

caste Sinhalas who did not want a low caste to rule them. (All Sinhala leaders have always been form the upper Govigama caste either Buddhist or Christian. the Christians have to become Buddhist of course, Premadasa was an exception, (he was from one of these low/middle castes from recent South Indian Tamil migrants who became Sinhalas in the 17th century. )he ws greatly resented by the Sinhala classes and upper castes. The common belief is they killed him and the LTTE was made a convenient scape goat. The Americans and West are aware about this but are conveniantly assepting the offical SInhla version as this suites thoer purpose too. The international community mainly the USA th eEU the West are equatong the oppresser and the jist fight or the oppressed in the same level. That succesive Sinhla governments since independence systamaticaly discriminating its Tamil citizens(most of whom have shared this island withthem for thousand of years. ) and thoer sole wim is to ultimatley detroy them as a people .like what the Muslim Turks did to the Christian Armenians is lost upon them. The Tamils after trying every peaceful an non violent means for the past 50 years have resorted to armed struggel as a last resort seems to be a criminal act for them. Even the UN charter states that a people can resort to armed strugel to gain thoer legitimate right. Thei semms to be lost upon thj einternational commnity. However they will selectively use this when it suits them and their aims.

The fight for freedon in BOsnia Kosovo ( the KOsova ALbaninas only came in to Kosovo a few hundred years ago and became a majority, they have never ruled themsleves but werealways under the Serbs. However the Eelam Tamil shave been occupying their lands for thousand of years, and hav efo rmost of thoer history ,until the European colonsation had ruled themsleves. The SInhlas lost their freedom at the same time but have regained it) that the Tamils have more right to an Eelam with a bigger land area and a large seacoast is lost on them. This open and blatant double standard is irking the Tamils. the Tamils must quietly live in a unitary state nd meekly receive what ever is thrown to them by a racist and genocidal majority and keep quiet. THoer jist fight for independence is branded as terrrism. However the same scenery in bosnia nd Kosovo as a just strugle for independence. Theor armed fighters the Kosovo Liberation Army etc are called fredon fighters by the USA nd the west. The armed them and AMerica and the west are openl advocating thoer independence. this is to spite Slavic Sebia the natural ally of Russia. Tghe story in Sri Lanka is thier not white Europeans and lots ot these hypocritical western countries have in Srilank, the Tamils have been blamed for thoer own sufferings and the opressoer is not condemene. This sustainin of the opressor has resulted in the Tamil not gainig any relief for theor suffering. The West and India ha lost all moral credibility to Judge .
Sorry I could not find any report made by FBI about LTTE on thier website or major western news media to validate the authenticity of report. Only all Indian media had this news. I hope it is handwork of some vetsted-interst people.
Also who cares whether FBI label badly or praise LTTE. LTTE will carry out thier freedom struggle.
One more thing, how can LTTE be blamed for copying thier tactics by others. They have brain to develop new techniques with limitted resources. Thats thier wealth. If somebody copy ther model, it is thier weakness.

I regret that there is a report in FBI site about LTTE, but it is made under some influence
They can do anything they want. They just dont have the capacity to catch Bin laden. All they can do is label. America is in a mess. A time will come when they have to take care of themselves.Just a matter of time...Their words will not carry any weight.
Iam not justifying what LTTE is doing because Iam from Tamilnadu ...
But LTTE, has never done anything outside their zone, except probably the one incident with Rajiv Gandhi in India, which looks more like a revenge action than a mindless random action targetting innocent civilians.
LTTE has to be disbanded soon, I agree, as we don't know what what will happen to them after, say, their chief dies.
But in my opinion, there are far more dangerous outfits out there who are mindless and involve in random attacks mainly targeting innocent public.
Probably looks more like a propoganda lobbying by the Sri Lankan govt.

Some Tamils are simply nonsense (I am Tamil myself!). On one hand MK supports LTTE - who we know are terrorists. I mean - whatever the intention is - use of force is terrorism. Period. I am proud to be Tamil (so are evryone, no issues in admitting it) but my fellows around are jingoistic not patriotic. Kamban wrote Ramayan in Tamil but these guys fail to accept that. Another epic, Silapathikaram, refers to Ramayan - Tamils say Kamban is a great poet and Silapathikaram is an epic but dont agree whats in there. Hypocrites.

There comes a Brahmin basher. You have no guts to blame any body else and hence blame the softtest target. Get real. I am a Tamil Brahmin and I sympathise Tamils of Sri Lanka. Dont lose the sympathy of the only few sympathisers you have. In fact I am of the opinion that LTTE is mosly Christians and they get help from christian organization which is a smart thing to do.

Maojority of LTTE are HIndu (80%) like its leader. and around 20% are Christians, This reflects the religious make up of teh ethnic or native SriLankan Tamil oroginating fromthe North East and parts of North West SriLanka. Unlike Tamil nadu where the lower and backward castes predominate. The native Sri Lankan Tamils are predominantly of teh higher and middle castes. Even thesocalled backward and lower castes amongst them are not that backward and humble but very literate.Therefor no one is really opressed due totheor caste ( unlike a generation or two ago). The caste issue really comes when it marriage even this is gradually breaking. The population is not obsessed with caste or skin colour. MOat Native SriLankan Tamils both Hindu and Christian belong to the Vellalar caste, this caste consists around 50% of the native Sri Lankan Tamil population. The Vellalars have traditionally been very closely allied to the Brahmins. This is one of the reasons that there is not anit Brahmin feelings amongs teh native Srilankan Tamils. Secondly The native Srialankan Tamil Barahmins ahave always been very wel integrated withteh rest of the Tamil population (thoer numbaers are few ) and have traditionally been temple preists. Lot of them are now very educated and are in the professions. There never has been isuue here that they opressed the other Tamil communities, They are very well respected by the rest of thoer fellow Tamils. Infact of all the Native Tamil communities they are the most

The Ltte is very secular its leader may be HIndu ( including Pirabakaran and his family) but they have never espoused or supported one religion or another. This reflects the position of moat Sri Lankan Tamils and in most tamils in Tamil Nadu too. The Tamils as people are very secular. TO them relgion is one's own personal belief. Even when the LTTE chased away the Muslims form the NOrth it had nothing to do with HIndu fanaticism. but the mere fact tehat these tamil Muslims cannot be trusted, They do not identify themsleves as Tamils in SriLanka (despeite thoer obvious Tamil origin) this is also encouraged by sucessive SriLankan governmens so that is the Tamils are divided by relgious and regional lines they become weak and can be easily destroyed. (Many Tamis of recent Indian origin have also succumbed to this and deny their Tami lheritage like teh Catholic Paravars and the Chetties in Colombo.)any way thiese Muslims state they are descended from Arabs when only around 5 to 10% of them have some Arab/Persian blood. The Hindu and Christian Tamils find this very insulting. Furhter tey have sided with the Sinhla government, especialay in the Tamil East as their aimis to have a Muslim eastern province once teh largely alomost 100% Tamil Hindus are chased away in the east. Saudi and Pakistani governmet ar funding Muslim madrassas in the East with SL govt support. They are also armed by the SL govt to attack Tamil Hindu villages in teh east. The LLte did not this in the North.

That the Tamil Christians are more vocal and more obvious in the Tamil conflict does not mean that they are pnly supporting the Tamil emancipation. The LTTe or the Tamil movment would not have come to this level without the support of the large Tamil Hindu masses. From the Brahmin to the Dalit. They are the overwhelming majority (depsite all large scale conversions due to predicament most native Tamils find themselves ) and will always be the majority too.( The Portuguese were very brutal and tried all methods to forcibly convert all the Tamils in the North and East to Catholism, they detroyed hundreds of Hindu temples and kileed anyone who did not convert, lots of people fled to India and to independent Vanni, but most pretended to be Catholic and practised Hinduism in secret. They openly reverted to Hinduism when they left around 200 to 300 years later. However theh Eelam Tamils lost a lotby this. They lost their freedom which they never gained, and the entire Tamil western and southern coasts who got forcibly converted to Catholism and later most of them to Buddhism never retruned to the Tamil fold but became Sinhala int 1600s they now make up aroudn 50% of the Sinhlas and are the most anti Eelam Tamil).Most Christians are taught to fight agins injustice strongly. The Tamil Christians are no exception. The native Tamils have been left destitute and the Tamil Chritians know that they are they only ones who can highlight their plight through the international church.

sorry lots have them have borne the worst amount of discrimination. Even recently the Sri lankan Army had wanted all the names of the Tamil Brahmins living around the Jaffna region. The IPKF harrased them a lot too, as they were very suspicious thatthe Native Tamil Brahmins and the Tamil Christian/Catholic priests were supporting the LTTE. In Sri Lanka the church is divided along ethnic lines. Other than a few Sinhala Chrisian priests who openly condemnthe the racist polies of succesive SriLankan governments. Most of teh Sinhala church and the Sinhala Christians are firmly behind the Sri lankan governmet. In fact the Sinhla Catholic Church of teh South actively participated in the forced assimilation and Sinhlalisation of aorund 250000 poor Tamil Catholic fishermen in the Chilaw and Puttalam districts, soon after independence. The Sinhala Christian like their native Tamil counterparts are very well bonded with their Buddhist ethnic kin. Like the Native SriLankan Tamil Christians, they have realtives and close family ties amongst the majority Buddhists and will arrange and amrry mongst teh Buddhists generally on caste lines. In fact the Bandarnaikes, Jeyawardenes. the Wickremesinges are from Christian families, They only became Buddhists ofr political gain. The SInhlese unlike the Native Tamils will not accpet a Christian as thoer leader . The largely HIndu Tamils have elected Chritians as thoer leaders.Even President Mahinda Rajapakse's Wife is form a CHrisitian family
The srilankan government lobbies the American government to make such statements.The entire world the most dangerous terrorist organisation is the American government.
LTTE is the most dangerous outfit. For the last 25 years they stuck to their original agenda and that is to create their own Eelam (Country) by breaking-up parts of India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia and declaring independence. Ideally India will never and should never support LTTE. At the end of the day it's the Tamils living in TN who can decide the fate of LTTE. Do they want to adapt to the secular India or isolate themselves and pursue the dream of Eelam?
