OK, help us out here a little:
who are/was the LTTE?
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.They are a terrorist group fighting for a separate Tamil State within Sri Lanka against the Sinhalese led Government there-if that doesn’t work out,they want independence.They are pioneers as far as terrorism goes.They patented the modern suicide bomber,incl. the women bomber.One such women killed Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 when he was campaigning for reelection ,while another killed Sri Lanka’s president,a few years later.
They are also the only known terrorist group to have a functional ‘state’ with administration & airforce & naval components which attack Sri Lankan forces.
They're ruthless terrorists. They all carry a vial of cyanide which they'll swallow so as not to be taken alive. They use women as suicide bombers and have no problems targeting city buses or shopping malls.
