    COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) _ Suspected Tamil Tiger rebels abducted a Tamil man from his home in northern Sri Lanka, the military said Thursday, as authorities investigated whether the victim is linked to groups that oppose the guerillas.

Four suspected rebels snatched A. Dineshswaram, 23, from his home in Muttur last week, said military spokesman Brig. Sudhir Samarasinghe, adding that his disappearance was only reported by his father Wednesday. Muttur is about 230 kilometers (140 miles) northeast of the capital, Colombo.

(Those who don't like to read tamilnet, fine, just clarify the real story as much as possible. DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS AS YOU WISH)

If they exccuted him, that would be a different case.

Here, they abducted an adult for the "tamil struggle". He will become a fighting cader. If he is married wife can, probably, wait until the next life.
