Sri Lankan Premier says LTTE operating camps in Tamil Nadu

The Sri Lankan Prime Minister has told the parliament today that the defeated terrorist group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is trying to re-organize itself and are secretly operating camps in Tamil Nadu.

Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne while moving the motion for the extension of emergency regulations in parliament has said that that Indian intelligence reports have revealed that three LTTE camps are secretly operating in Tamil Nadu in South India.

According to Jayaratne, the LTTE members are being trained to carry out VVIP assassinations.

The camps are said to be operated by Pulendran Master, who was a close associate of the former LTTE intelligence wing head Pottu Amman.

The Premier has said that that the camps are aimed at re-establishing LTTE bases in Sri Lanka.

He has added that these cadres once trained are expected to target Indian political leaders as well.

A recent Indian intelligence report said the LTTE, still active overseas, is trying to regroup, and planning to launch spectacular strikes on high-profile targets like Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Home Minister P Chidambaram, and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi.
