DILIP GANGULY - Associated Press Writer - COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - (AP) Sri Lanka - 's Tamil Tiger rebels have trained more fighters for their ``Sea Tiger'' naval force, sparking yet more fears that a fraying government-rebel truce may snap, a defense analyst and pro-rebel Web-site said. The Tamil Tigers began fighting in 1983 for a separate state for Sri Lanka - 's minority ethnic Tamils, accusing the majority Sinhalese of discrimination. The conflict claimed at least 65,000 lives before a Norway-brokered cease-fire in 2002.

 Mr Ganguly
Associated Press may have a 'minimum number of reports' requirements from the reporters on their payroll.
Mr Ganguly is shooting out this one just to keep up with his target, without giving any source or evidence of its reliability. Of course this report will keep some on the edge of their seats. This an example of the 'state of the art' reports of modern day reporters, who can fabricate reports, using their own imaginative skills, that will pass as believable. |

LTTE's Naval Wing's Strength
Anyone,who lives/lived in the north and east know LTTE's naval wing's strength.Without it LTTE couldn't have acheived so much success against SL Navy who has many ships and gun boats.Elephant pass defeat is a very good example..I understand people love to hate anything that praise LTTE.But if anyone want to beat an enemy hey shouldn't underestimate them.India and SL underestimated LTTE and now country is in this situation.This story is little old.Blamimg Ganguly is so lame for the story.

Re: LTTE's Naval Wing's Strength
Yes FED AUTO I agree. LTTE's SEA tigers are a force to be reckoned with. And their advanced tactics. For example hiding in fleet of fishing boats and destroying the Dowra Navel Craft is clear demonstration of their strengths. We also know how guys like Daya Sandagiri ordered modern Cannons to counter attack these Sea Tigers. |
