They were 'shot-down' by some claiming they wanted to move to Anuradhapura from the front-line for their personal comfort.

They are in this for the long-haul. Putting an act together like that would expose its network in Colombo and elsewhere. They will look at the cost-benefit ratio and would resort to such an attack only as last resort. <BR/><BR/>On the Hilary issue,<BR/>I myself doubt whether Americans would elect a woman president. When you say America, most people think of the modern metropolises. 'Real' America is the rural and conservative America like Iowa, New Hampshire etc. I think its doubtful still. But having a contingency plan in busting some of the myth is crucial. The government must also not use the Army for terror tactics, which seemingly would justify LTTE's use of terrorism.<BR/><BR/>don,<BR/>SL intel officers, 2nd Lt upwards have one thesis they write their entire career. That's the LTTE. I wouldn't want to comment on the 'old guard' by we have some brilliant young MI officers who have dealt only with the LTTE since they joined and they need to be listened to more. Its therefore not a lack of resources but a lack of institutional nurturing etc.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-74410777623046777842007-10-28T21:08:00.000+05:302007-10-28T21:08:00.000+05:30Don,Good point man.

For a masking attack like this, they only need few motor cycles, 1 0r 2 tinted glasses BMWs and few defender jeeps.

My calculation is Mrs. Clinton will become the next President of USA. It would be in our interest that we make contact and build relationships all major candidates and pay special attention to Mrs. Clinton. What should be made clear to her is that unlike other “freedom fighters”, LTTE wasn't a spontaneous reaction to discrimination of Tamils. LTTE was artificially created by the Indira Ghandi administration to “teach a lesson” to JR govt who was trying get close to USA. Not only RAW provided LTTE with arms and training, they setup the support structure for arms procurement and funding. In fact, LTTE may may still be funded by TN politicians. Although there were problems with how Tamils were treated, none of it warrants the level of violence directed by LTTE. The additional reason is also some Tamils is their “aspirations” which are grossly unfair when the amount of land area they claim. Furthermore, none of the claims have been proved as historical facts.<BR/><BR/>Once you destroy the legitimacy of LTTE violence, you can move on to how LTTE is a threat to US global interests. The LTTE has proven to be highly innovative. Other groups attacking western interests have copied LTTE tactics in the past and may well do in the future. The suicide bombing of USS Cole and extensive use of IEDs in Iraq may have been influenced by LTTE tactics. Going further, an innovative group such as LTTE may even have crude WMD at planning stage or initial development. They have the means to deliver WMD by by air or probably by submarine. Its not in anyone interest to have a sea faring terror group close to major sea lanes either. All in all, US does not benefit nor can it give any political justification for removing LTTE from the terror list.Jambudipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894590544311665214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-67056393366295792912007-10-28T09:25:00.000+05:302007-10-28T09:25:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Jambudipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894590544311665214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-10952517813024744122007-10-28T09:19:00.000+05:302007-10-28T09:19:00.000+05:30defencenet,there are many wils stories floating ab...defencenet,<BR/><BR/>there are many wils stories floating about captued black tigers.<BR/>your confirmation is much appriciated...<BR/><BR/>is this true...?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362120090884073251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-28200703233007404482007-10-28T09:16:00.000+05:302007-10-28T09:16:00.000+05:30defencenet...is there any truth in the claim that ...defencenet...<BR/>is there any truth in the claim that black tigers were captured sollowing the anuradhapura attack...?<BR/><BR/>please respond.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362120090884073251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-33273823572083245082007-10-28T05:32:00.000+05:302007-10-28T05:32:00.000+05:30ooops , wrong HTML tags...ooops , wrong HTML tags...tangarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225991509353724974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-22500628636608491792007-10-28T05:31:00.001+05:302007-10-28T05:31:00.001+05:30Out of topic, At this stage,SLA must avoid another...Out of topic,<BR/><BR/><A> At this stage,<BR/>SLA must avoid another Muhamalee type dibacle at all costs...It could be a disasster for all Sri Lankans..<BR/>That will set a negative trend on all SLDF operations in the future..<BR/></A>tangarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225991509353724974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-44539058669322560452007-10-28T05:31:00.000+05:302007-10-28T05:31:00.000+05:30goldeneagle,CDL and Brodarski Institut will build ...goldeneagle,<BR/>CDL and Brodarski Institut will build six aluminum FACs. <BR/><BR/>No confirmation on radar system damage at A'pura.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-67157682172543971662007-10-28T05:09:00.000+05:302007-10-28T05:09:00.000+05:30DefencewireI heard that CDL is undertaking a joint...Defencewire<BR/><BR/>I heard that CDL is undertaking a joint venture with the Croatian Brodarski Institut to build bigger ships for our Navy.<BR/><BR/>Do you know if the government gave the green light for this endevour?GoldenEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097391147469779596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-63682496830441878432007-10-28T04:23:00.000+05:302007-10-28T04:23:00.000+05:30Defencewire,Out of topic,Did the LTTE attack damag...Defencewire,<BR/><BR/>Out of topic,<BR/><BR/>Did the LTTE attack damaged the A'Pura radar ?<BR/><BR/>If yes, what kind of Radar is that?<BR/><BR/>Answer where possible.<BR/><BR/>Thank you..tangarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225991509353724974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-67073393049000893392007-10-28T04:12:00.001+05:302007-10-28T04:12:00.001+05:30Its specially designed to detect low-flying aircra...Its specially designed to detect low-flying aircraft and detects anything within 180km range so technically it should, but as defanalyst says, its the human element or the guy manning the system who makes the difference, not the technology.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-241758204594858812007-10-28T04:05:00.000+05:302007-10-28T04:05:00.000+05:30DefencwireI hope they can detect those f**king tin...Defencwire<BR/><BR/>I hope they can detect those f**king tin cans next time.GoldenEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097391147469779596noreply@blogger.com
