Munza Mushtaq in Colombo,  Wed Feb  8 02:33:05 EST 2006
The LTTE dissident group led by Karuna today alleged that LTTE Leader
Prabhakaran's paramilitary groups are running riot in Qatar, targeting
several of their cadres after attempts by the Vanni faction to
persuade these cadres to join Prabhakaran's camp once again failed.

The latest victim is 26-year-old Manoharan alias Kuruvi, one of the
numerous members of Karuna's faction now working in Qatar.

According to the Faction's political party spokesman Thooyavan, Kuruvi
is in a critical condition in the Intensive Unit of Ahamed Hospital,
(General Hospital) in Doha Qatar  after he was hit on the head with a
steel crowbar when he was fast asleep.

"After  Col. Karuna dismantled his defense force, Kuruvi was one of
the cadres that joined the labour force in Qatar," Thooyavan pointed
out.

He is  employed as a cleaner in the International Cleaning Company
(ICC) in Qatar and was living in one of the two camps of the company
located at Sanya 49, Doha, Qatar.
It is estimated that over a thousand of Col. Karuna's cadres
re-located themselves in Qatar after he dismantled his force. An
intelligence squad from the LTTE paramilitary group was dispatched to
Qatar to win back Col Karuna's cadres to return to ranks of the LTTE.
Tiger's Intelligence chief of the  paramilitary group in Batticaloa
Keerthi is in command of this operation.

"The intelligence squad from the LTTE paramilitary group, headed by
Mathan of Palugamam, met with the members of the Karuna group in the
two ICC camps. Their mission was to persuade the members of the Karuna
group to abandon  Col. Karuna and return to Batticaloa to fight the
final battle with the Sri Lanka Government  with the  LTTE para
military group," Thooyavan claimed.

However, the Karuna group in Qatar is reported to have rejected the
offers made Mathan. So having failed in his mission, Mathan  returned
to Sri Lanka to report the  stiff resistance he faced from Col.
Karuna's group to Keerthi. It was after this that Sukasan, another
intelligence agent from Palugamam who is  currently working  in Qatar,
launched his anti-Karuna campaign aggressively in the ICC camps. He is
the official representative of LTTE paramilitary group working in the
ICC  camps.

"On the 3rd February, a group of intelligence cadres led by Sukasan
entered the ICC camps and vandalized the photographs of Colonel Karuna
which was displayed very prominently in both camps," Thooyavan,
spokesman for Karuna's political party," TamilEela Makkal Viduthalai
Pulikal.

"Subsequently on 06 February  when Kuruvi was in his camp room, fast
asleep, agents of the LTTE paramilitary group, specially sent from
Batticaloa entered Kuruvi's room stealthily, and  dealt a serious blow
with a steel crowbar on his head . The assailants slipped away," he
said.

Kuruvi was admitted to the general hospital in Doha Qatar and his
condition is still critical. Latest reports  from  Qatar  states that
the local police have arrested Sukasan for the alleged attempt on the
life of Kuruvi and the investigations are continuing.
According to reports  from Batticaloa Kuruvi  is a handicapped person
from Sittandy. He is a member of TamilEela Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal.
He left  for Qatar in the latter part of  May 2004,  after the
military wing of the TMVP was dismantled by its leader V. Muralitharan
alias Colonel Karuna.

Well said.  It will not take much time for the Qatari authorities to crush these terrorists.  We are talking about Qatar NOT Canada.

Tigers are out of their depth here (if this is true). Qatar doesn't tolerate crimes and they would rather punish a few innocents than let the guilty go. Expect something severe soon.

Question though to Gemunu: Do you know that the LTTE does not fall into the "terrorism" group in the definition given by the USA?

Tamil Forum for Peace calls for immediate talks leading to a permanent solution to the ongoing conflict in Sri Lanka
Six Tamil, Sri Lankan organisations in the UK have come together as the Tamil Forum for Peace and launched their anti-war campaign at a public meeting on Sunday February 5 at Birkbeck College, University of London.Close to a hundred people gathered at this meeting to express their opposition to war and to urge the Government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE to resume talks to focus on arriving at a permanent solution which will ensure democracy, human rights and justice in Sri Lanka.

We have repeatedly warned you about linking your website to ongoing discussions. This will be your final warning.

It's the time for the LTTE to leave violence and obey for the democracy and humanrights.
If they don't use this chance they will be treated by the World & Sri-Lankans as Nazis
of Germany in future.

How can you say it is LTTE?
It is the angry crowd assolted Kuruvi.
LTTE is not involved in any violene since 2002.  
Incorrect speaking they never did any violent activity in their history.

Ohhh take them to heaven and they will run riot there too.
Bottom line: Location doesn't matter for them.

karuna killed more Sinhalese and Muslims than any other LTTE ers.  It is pathetic to see Lanka Academic and some forum participants shedding tears for Karuna and his members. Enemy's Enemy is a friend, regardless he is a terrorists or barbarian.  Funny theory.  We all will wait for the day Karuna turns his gun other way around.  It will happen soon.

Hi Hanumanth,

Are  U referring to the Person called Karuna or to Karuna faction? Karuna is a person and LTTE is a terror organization.  When Karuna was batting for LTTE, all the killing he did contribute to LTTE (LTT ers).  May be you have a detailed list of LTTE ers and their respective killings.  Could you pl. share that with us?

Mr. Amarakoon,

If you have read all news items including that of Lanka Academic you will know the listings.  Karuna was responsible for killing some 300 policemen in Batticaloa.  Even all the news items now put the blame on Karuna faction for killing some LTTE ers and some journalists.  Are you trying to establish that Karuna is a clean man without any responsiblity for killings.  I think like the others Karuna has become a friend of yours.

Do not try to divert the facts.   You don't need to give stats to say anything.  How can one say that Pirabakaran is a killer.  Do you know the list of people he killed ?.  However it is a fact he was responsible for the deaths of so many people.

My opinion is that at this critical stage you have to use the brain to defeat the main enemy. You can't be thinking of the motherland and be patriotic unless you think and plan strtegically rather than directly. Therefore regardless what Karuna did before when he was with LTTE, if he is not killing any more, you have to support him. If he is attacking LTTE, you (and if you) as LTTE's enemy you have to support Karuna and I will. If LTTE comes out in political arena in the future after droping their arms, I will support them too for any good cause.

By the way, I will not be looking for written evidence to say Prabhakaran is a killer. It will be childish, a waste of valuable time, and a good question to be asked only by a stinky LTTE boot licker. Karuna's killings are also the responsibility of Prabhakaran ! The buck stops there!

Where does the buck stop for the killing of 5 innocent students in Trinco by the STF (source: Sri Lankan President?)? What are we planning to do, apparently as a civilised society, about accountability for this crime?

The LTTE has to take responsibility for the killings lead by Karuna when he was in the LTTE. However, Karuna has to take some responsibility for the killings as he could have left the organisation if he felt he did not agree with these decrees (although mostly these killings were orchestrated by karuna himself and not under high-command directive). Karuna still continues to kill and so does Douglas. We pay our taxes so that we can protect these killers. They kill those they don't like under the cover of them being 'LTTE supporters'. It's the same as the GOSL using 'LTTE' as a cover to hide its shortcomings in other policies. But is there a better alternative other than kill under-cover for a civlised nation like ours which likes to uphold the values of Buddhism!?

Kottawa, Qatar and now in Madras...
Aren't you Tamils proud of the thecia thalvar for 'inventing' this new technique...

Dear Hanumanth & Manjula (your posting 26 & Manjula your posting 138)

Dear both, I never try to white wash Karuna.  Pl. read my posting again.  Did I ever talked about VP in that posting?? OR did I tell Karuna is a Bodhisatwa?

What I said simply was when Karuna was with LTTE, LTTE is responsible for all the killings. Hanumanth was giving statistics about Karuna's killing.  But I still say, LTTE's killings are much much higher than the killing by Karuna you are talking about.
