Menik farm IDP camp (May 2009)

Close on the heels of evidence that LTTE terrorists masquerading as civilians are making an attempt to control civilians held at welfare camps in the Vavuniya region, an influential section of the security establishment believes the camp population should be re-located to smaller camps.

Intelligence services have brought this to the notice of the Defense Ministry.

A senior government official told The Island that authorities in charge of camps had been unable to run overcrowded camps effectively. He said that there could be hundreds of LTTE cadres, including members of suicide squads and intelligence wing cadres among the civilian population. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the official said the military and the police could not effectively manage camps nor identify the wanted men and women as camps hold far too many people.

Responding to our queries, he asserted that it would be ideal if only a few thousand could be held at one camp. He said that setting up of additional camps would be a heavy burden on the government but it could greatly help their efforts to identify terrorists taking cover among ordinary civilians.

`Don t forget Prabhakaran s parents, too, took refuge among ordinary people,` he said adding that there could be many terrorists operating within camps though the top leadership was wiped out. Those who shed crocodile tears for people held at camps had conveniently forgot ten that among terrorists masquerading as civilians were many women cadres.

Another official told The Island that what s left of the LTTE now held at welfare camps would definitely make an effort to reorganise. He warned that the government should not be complacent as no rehabilitation effort could help the hardcore LTTE cadres.
