Five agreements have been signed with a view of finding a peaceful solution to the problem. They all met the same fate, the successive Sri Lankan governments abandoned them unilaterally:
1. B-C Pact in 1957
2. S-C Pact in 1965
3. Indo-Lanka Accord in 1986
4. Ceasefire Agreement in 2002
5. P-TOMS in 2005.

Sinhala Buddhist leaders never wanted to resolve the problem peacefully but control using violence, anti-Tamil riots, bombings, abductions and killing of aid workers and MPs.

Wasn't CFA dead long years ago. the present CFA was only limited to paper. Nobody felt any safer and if at all ltte used that to get even stronger militarily...
This has to have been a very well thought out decision at this critical juncture...
I guess all those military acquisitions by the SLDF for all 3 forces will play huge role in post CFA day if this news i s correct in the first place...

Thanks Thambi,

I will make few more queries. If there is any truth in it, then it confirms Induia's tru intentions. They want to take SL back to 1987. Vardarajah Perumal is an Indian stooge and India has been waiting to get the chance to put their hand back to North East. Will let you know if I learn anything.

Cheers

Assailant of Maheswaran an intelligence wing member

(LeN, 2008 Jan 02, 6.30 PM) It is revealed now that the arrested suspected assailant of United National Party (UNP) MP T. Maheswaran is a member of state intelligence service. His name is Thomas Collin Valentine alias Wasanthan.

Wasanthan is a long time residence of Colombo and worked as a bodyguard of Minister Douglas Devananda while being a member of Ealam People's Democratic Party (EPDP). Later he joined the state intelligence wing and worked there for five years.

Meanwhile, L. Dharmasiri, a security officer of MP Maheswaran who is now in hospital due to gun shot injuries says that the suspected gunman is a former security official of Minister Devananda.

Dharmasiri shot at the assailant as soon as he saw he shot at the MP. He later recognized the assailant at the hospital although he did not identify him.

When 'Lanka-e-News' enquired from Police Media Spokesman DIG N.K. Ilangakoon about the information that the suspect is an EPDPer connected to state intelligence, he said tht he had no such information.

DIG Ilangakoon said that a statement had not been recorded so far from the suspect and it could be done perhaps today (02).

'Lanka-e-News' learns that the gunman was identified as Tholar (Comrade) Johnson and Tholar Collin within the EPDP.

Thambi:

This is my take. Basis for SLMM was CFA. Without CFA, no SLMM. The letter you mentioned was needed for SLMM to leave if CFA is still alive. I may be wrong.
