Sri Lanka News Updates with Discussions

Sept 06, Colombo: Military Spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara recently revealed that the Government will be issuing a new identity card to the residents of Jaffna Peninsula in northern Sri Lanka.

This shows that Jaffna is different from srilanka and ensure the occupation of another country!

While most Sri Lankans buoyed by the continuous victories in the battlefield are not paying attention, the LTTE is likely to carryout a series of morale boosting assassinations to wipe-out the Southern leadership and thereby regain the upper-hand in this fight to the finish.

This devastating strategy may include a number of high profile assassinations between now and 26th November LTTE leader Velupillai Prabakaran s 54th birthday Heroes Day, which will decapitate much of the political and military leadership of Sri Lanka and restore his standing at a time when many consider the destruction of the LTTE to be imminent.

The top targets of such a desperate strategy may include:

1. H.E. President Mahinda Rajapakasa (Commander in Chief), his family, including his Brother and Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapakase who narrowly survived a bomb attack on December 01, 2006

2. Prime Minister Hon. Ratnasiri Wickremanayake (who was also previously targeted by the Tigers), and the Minister of Foreign Affairs

3. Army commander Gen. Sarath Fonseka who on 25 April 2006, survived an LTTE suicide bomb attack in which he was seriously injured and nine others were killed

4. All top commanders in the battlefront

5. TMVP leader Col. Karuna (V. Muralitharan), and Eastern Province Chief Minister Pillayan (Hon. Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan)

5. Several other anti LTTE Tamil leaders (Hon. Douglas Devananda & Mr. V. Anandasangaree) and anti-LTTE journalists.

Media reports in the past have stated that there are at least six assassins shadowing top military and political leaders and as in the case of the suicide attack of Hon. Jeyaraj Fernandopulle on April 6, 2008, they will strike at the first lapse in security.

The weapon choice this time around may be the bullet not the bomb as snipers will find it easier than suicide bombers to acquire their targets. Also kamikaze aircraft may be used for dramatic effect. Last week the security around the President s official residence Temple Trees was toughened.

The first such asymmetrical counterattack by the LTTE may be the with cyanide poisoning of over 200 soldiers at the Henanigala camp in Eastern Province last weekend. The fish were allegedly injected with the poison. Are the camps abandoned by the fleeing Tigers booby trapped?

The most shocking element of an asymmetrical counterattack will be the use of Sinhala Tigers know as the - Revolutionary Liberation Front or Viplawakari Vimukthi Peramuna, to execute these high profile assassinations. Many of them (including female Sinhala Tigers), may have by now successfully ingratiated themselves to the top brass of the government and their staff as was done by Tiger Babu - the killer of President Ranasinghe Premadasa.

Yes discrimination for the other places. favoritism for Jaffna people

dai visar pindamakale...army is going to cut the balls of pirabakaran soon. be prepared for that.

He married my cusin sister and flirting with other married men and women here. I cant sit and watch.

True. Favoritism only for Jaffna district. We have not seen special identity cards for other provinces or districts!
