[b]LTTE terrorism not targeted against United States interests, says US State Department[/b]
By Daya Gamage – A News Analysis for Asian Tribune
[b]Washington, D.C. 29, April (Asiantribune.com):[/b] The United States releasing its annual Country Reports on Terrorism on Friday, 28 April, notes in its Sri Lanka section that "the LTTE has not targeted the U.S. citizens or assets, limiting attacks to Sri Lankan security forces, political figures, civilians, and businesses".
However, the report says that in November last year suspected LTTE militants threw a grenade at a truck donated by the United States to a humanitarian demining program but notes that the truck was occupied by Sri Lankan soldiers.
United States law requires the Secretary of State to provide the Congress, by April 30 of each year, a full and complete report on terrorism with regard to those countries and groups meeting criteria set forth in the legislation.
The report covers developments in countries in which acts of terrorism occurred, countries that are state sponsors of terrorism, and counties determined by the Secretary of State to be of particular interest in the global war on terror.

LTTE terrorism not targeted against United States interests,
In sri lanka no one knows exactly who kills who. Except for aerial bombing which is GOSL.
After this report, US interests must be very carefull, either side can take advantage of this and blame the other.

LTTE terrorism not targeted against United States interests,
[quote="The Duke"]This is exactly the reason why we must find evidence to link up LTTE with the terrorists who are against the states for the overall purpose of wiping out the LTTE.
That way...the State dept has some concrete evidence to request military aid for the GOSL from Congress/Senate.[/quote]

Here is a hint the USA giving us srilankans! Buy all trucks from usa and then if the LTTE do some thing like throwing a even stone at the truck we can shought that 'US interests are targetted'! Then try to drag the US into fighting the LTTE!
But be careful, during May day or something our Sinhala brothers may try a stone or two at the trucks! May the whole of SL be targetted by USA for targetting their assets. A delicate sitation here!

According to the mighty USA which banned the LTTE, the people behind these are the 'Tamil diaspora ' according to the report!!!!!!
'.....The report pointed out that [b]LTTE finances itself [/b]by contributions from the [b]Tamil diaspora [/b]around the world, including North America, Europe, and Australia, and by imposing local ''taxes'' on businesses operating in the areas of Sri Lanka under its control. [color=red][b]LTTE's military training is self-taught, weapons are either purchased on the international black market or captured from the Sri Lankan Army[/b][/color]...'

Ha, ha, haaaaa!!
Your statement remind me of the US vice-president Dick channey's 'successful' efforts 'finding WMD' before the Iraqi invasion. This precess did a heavy dammage to US government and CIA.
I thought SL found one during Katunayaka attack in an 'injured foreigner' and tried hard to make an issue out of it!
Please try and 'find and link up LTTE' with some evidence evevn if you don't find it after 30 years of war
LTTE terrorism not targeted against United States interests,
My understanding is that USA and EU don't want to make new enimies against them as long as the so called enemy avoid USA and EU. Becasue those countries also want to use tamils without hurting them.
Similarly, India first created this problem. But, SL did not get the help that they wanted to give. Now, India is planing the balancing game. India is interested only in preserving it's political and economilc needs such as winning TamilNadu and keeping th economic interests safe. Other than, tamils and sinhala bothe the same for them.
LTTE understnd these things. But, GOSL politicians don't want to understand it. They are busy in their own world. They behave like irresponsible people.
Even Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse was a politican for a long time. But, when he became the PResident , he did not have any clue like what to do with LTT. He got brains only when his Army Commander was attacked. It is just like he remembered his own life either politically or physically next to the Commander.
My next fear is whether MR will use this again politically and forget the suffering of poor people from both communities. Even SLA/SLN soldiers are poor people. I don't think the War is their priority in the life.
For Velu and the gang, the War is besiness and thier carrear without that they will vanish. For diaspora who don't know SL for 15 or 30 years it is the same old Sri Lanka.
No one seems to concern about the poor and powerless falks.
But, any expectation for peace talks or fruitful engagemens with LTT is just wishful thinking and fooling the GOSL itself.

LTTE terrorism not targeted against United States interests,
According the speach by Anton Balasingam in matyr day in London LTT can also fight against superpower. Who is the superpower?
US also got tired of the terrorism target US intrest in Iraq, Israil and their own country. It seem like that US pleased the LTT not to go against them. US should take all responsebility with all terrorism in the world. Who are Saddam, Bin Ladin.......? They were the best friends with US one upon a time.
LTT is a international terrorist because of the Rajiv Ghandi murder.
If world community want to fight against terrorism then they should act all types of terrorism and it doesn't matter if it's national or international.
Why India doesn't involve now in the war in Srilanka , because they already learned with peace keeping in Srilanka, then NATO helped LTT with weapons through Premadasa and killed him by LTT.
I thing US want to be friend of Pirabakaran to their benifits in the future.

Cool!!!
How come LTTE will target Uncle Sam or his children or assets?
They are only kills and attack security forces, political figures, civilians, and businesses.
In whose direction currently the Government of Norway acts as the facilitator for a peace deal between the GOSL and LTTE?
With the support of the US, European Union and Japan only the Norwegians are there.
[i]In what deal received training from Israel?
In what deal with who the Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was killed??
In what deal with who the Jaffna Muslims evacuated out from Jaffna in 24 hours???
In what deal with who PLOTE camps were attacked with the help of Sri Lankan Military and Air forces????[/i]
In whose direction & help (direct/ indirect) LTTE dealing with Arms brokers/ dealers, International smugglers?
