LTTE contacts embassies, claims `criminal negligence` by Govt.

The LTTE peace secretariat was yesterday in the process of contacting foreign embassies in Colombo to express regret over the injuries caused by a mortar attack to a group of foreign dignitaries who were on a visit to Batticaloa.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror LTTE military wing spokesman Irasiah Illentheriyan claimed that the Batticaloa airspace was used only for military purposes and not civilian traffic and thus blamed the government for `criminal negligence.`
He also said that earlier last morning the military had launched an attack on the LTTE from the location where the diplomats` aircraft landed resulting in casualties and damages to civilian lives and property in Vavunaitivu.
`There was provocation by the Sri Lankan military from that very spot earlier in the day and we were retaliating to neutralise those attacks. This area is a military location used for military purposes. The military probably pre-planned the attack to make us retaliate. It`s a clear attempt to disrupt our diplomatic relations with the foreign countries,` Mr. Illentheriyan said.
The rebel spokesman noted when aircraft carrying NGOs or diplomats were set to land at the Palaly airbase in Jaffna the relevant authorities inform the LTTE of such arrivals in advance. However he said the procedure was not implemented yesterday by the authorities.
Mr. Illentheriyan said when they were ultimately informed that diplomats were aboard the aircraft the mortar attack was ceased. However he charged that hours later the air force bombed Vavunaitivu in an apparent retaliation damaging more civilian property.

Even foreign Diplomats understand that talks with LTTE won't be that fruitful.
We believe there should be negotiations at the end but this attack is not encouraging,' French Ambassador Michel Lummaux told the media. |

According to Diplomats, they informed every one responsible before the visit.
Yet, LTTE tried to attack the Helicopters, simple because GOSL did not inform them.
Who were Criminally responsible ?. |

Hmm hooters, well two down now, guess you will have to wait for the US to give you some mileage out of this little drama your government orchastrated, first GErmany and now it seems the Italians too are not going to jump to any conclusions.
In expressing his complete solidarity and hopes in the timely return to Sri Lanka of our diplomatic representative, to whom he has addressed a personal letter, Minister D'Alema also expressed the hope that light will soon be shed on all the circumstances surrounding this worrying incident.

Oh I forgot, don't worry though the French are with you ;)
So you know you have capable support if you ever need to surrender to anybody.

If this is true why on earth are the foreign diplomats always wanting to go to Jaffna.
May be they enjoy the cool climate. :)
They informed everyone meaning the parties they had access to 'GOSL' thinking it was a responsible government and do its part.
i don't think there is any mileage from US: not even a news item. |

If Anton Goebelles Bala were alive, he would have immediately told the LTTE to deny involvement.....cos owning-up would not be rewarding at all...
Heck, the dumb fellow died....and the bereaved LTTE which is left behind seem to be dumber...so they accepted to project a larger than life picture that LTTE is still a formidable force...
And now who is going around the foreign missions and begging.....??????
and the dumb LTTE is giving the SLA chance after chance to attack and rout them legitimately....
Nice mode...self-destructive...but nice...
Ho ho ho.....

Ah SivaG,
wonder why you suddenly disappeared yesterday after my post requesting to justify your low standard replies which you called 'befitting'....
wonder why you didn't answer and vanished...

Hmm I guess for a GoSL supporter maning up and appologizing for a mistake must seem like begging, it is something the criminal false state has never been capable of doing, oh what happened to those 17 aid workers... yeah ghosts killed them right? LOL |

Seems the notion of diplomatic protocol between two entities
ho ho ho...look at this...! diplomatic protocol between two entities....!!
ho ho ho....
diplomatic protocols are between 'states' which are accepted by the UN convention....
and the LTTE is no such 'entity'.......(if it were, Al Quaeda would qualify too........)
nor would it ever be.........
ho ho ho.....
