US consider the attack clearly on SL government authority:

[quote="Anonymouse"][b][size=150]There are many differences between the Tigers and Al-Qaida. I name a few[/size][/b]
[b]Main goal:[/b]
AQ : Destroy the west
[b]Tigers : Create a separate state[/b]

[b]Reason for their activities:[/b]
AQ: The Western way of thinking get more and more influence in the world. This is most of the time against the islam way of thinking which is seen by them as the only truth.
[b]Tigers : Started as a movement against discrimination against Tamils, but as years passed it is more becoming as the Tiger way to survive.[/b]

[b]Beliefs and values:[/b]
AQ : Religion based
[b]Tigers : Ethnic basd[/b]

[b]Regions where they are active:[/b]
AQ: World wide
[b]Tigers : Sri Lanka (for at least 99%)[/b]

[b]Usual targets:[/b]
AQ: Everything which is from a western of a non-muslim country
[b]Tigers : Everything which is against their way of thinking, which is actually 70% Sinhalase and government related 30% Tamils who are against them.[/b]

[b]Which countries need to be afraid?[/b]
AQ : Every country
[b]Tigers : 99% Sri Lanka. 0.9% India, 0.1 Western countries[/b]

[b]Most active in:[/b]
AQ: Iraq and the middle-east
[b]Tigers: Sri Lanka[/b]

[b]Potential victims:[/b]
AQ : Everyone around the world
[b]Tigers : Sri Lankans (99%)[/b]

[b]Fundraising:[/b]
AQ: Everyone who is against the west and find the AQ tactics acceptable to encounter the western influence. There are more people than you think who support AQ. Lot's of these people are not even muslim. Don't you think some of those communist countries in South America don't sneaky celebrate when AQ hit another American target..?
[b]Tigers : Tamil diaspora around the world[/b]

[b]Recruitment:[/b]
AQ: No real recruitment. There is a small group of people that get training in places like Pakistan. Most people just join an AQ cell in their neighbourhood (world wide)
[b]Tigers : Recruited and trained in Northern Sri Lanka. (nation wide)[/b]

[b]Potential amount of members:[/b]
AQ: couple of million (every traumatic sick person can blow themselves up in a western country and we will believe it was an act of AQ. And there are many sick people around...)
[b]Tigers : couple of thousend[/b]

[b]Main reason why their enemies can't fight back:[/b]
AQ: They are everywhere
Tigers: The government is partly unable and uses the Tigers as an excuse to further neglect the Tamils. The IC needs them in order to reach out to the Tamils.

[b]Threat for the west[/b]
AQ : 100%
[b]Tigers : 0.1% (they might accidently kill some people when trying to collect money in the west)[/b]

[b]Importance for the west to deal with them[/b]
AQ: Very important
Tigers: Not important / not that important

[b]How long to stay?[/b]
AQ: Impossible to tell
[b]Tigers : When key figures like VP, AB are gone or when there is a solution for the Tamils in Sri Lanka (max 30 years?)[/b]

[b][size=150]I guess there are even more differences between AQ and the Tigers[/size][/b][/quote]
[i][b]Because of the differences between AQ and LTTE still Uncle Sam helps the LTTE from the back door and through Norway.

But there are some similarities also there[/b].[/i]

Faith in Human

we are agin experience the cat and mouse game withe the declaration of the fourth eelam war by th LTTE.

This attack is not aginst the commander of the Armey but it blows the balls of norway peace brokerds including ltte facilitator solhiem.We allway believe the only way to disarm LTTE by force.Once your ready to blow your self for others sake theirs no way it can stopped as like in Vietnam,Iran,Iraq,Cambodia etc.

We would like to remind the EU to condemn and ban LTTE as they did with Al-Quida. and do not follow a double policy against different teorrists group

It is high time to get rid of the LTTE facilitator Norway and the war aginst LTTE.It is important to remeber by all sri lankans NOT TO TRAGET ANY TAMIL CIVILIAN and do not repeat the same mistake as in 1983.

We appeal all patriotic sri lankanas to ralley around the Armed Forces to wipe out facisit LTTE and fight against their crimes against humanity.

SRI LANKA ARMED FORCES RELIEF FOUNDATION-USA :twisted:

The world should realize that the LTTE is one of the deadliest terrorist organizations on the face of this planet and take necessary steps to prevent such an organization from threatening the existence of a civil society. [i][b]How many previous suicide bombings have been carried out by the LTTE to get rid of so many persons who were not favoring the lines of thought of the LTTE?[/b][/i]Otherwise why should they target a bombing at a stage that when the country was getting ready for peace talks.

This is high time to realize that the LTTE will be never a party to a solution to this ethnic problem. They will be always an opponent to any solution. Their survival is based on an arms struggle. They can never be in a democratic process as they have been used to the rule of the gun. They always have undermined even any Tamil party by terrorizing or eliminating them. Their terror campaign has even reached boundaries beyond Sri Lanka. They were the ones who even killed Premier Rajiv Gandhi. Will they have any concern for any human life even if they enter a political process?
It is time to treat the LTTE and the al-Qaida in the same manner. Can al-Qaida operate a political and fund raising office in London or Oslo? Can the political theoreticians of Al-Quida fly freely between capitals of the European Union? Can Abu Musab al-Zarqawi come to Paris to collect funds for his terror campaign in Iraq?
Why do the European countries treat different terrorist groups with different treatment?
