India outlaws Sri Lanka's terror group LTTE for another two years

The Indian government has decided to extend the ban on Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger terrorist group, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) the by another two years, local media reports said.
Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram has said that under the provisions of Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act, the LTTE has been declared as a banned organization in India and confirmed that the ban has been extended another two years. The Indian government declared the LTTE a banned organization in 1994 after an LTTE suicide bomber assassinated former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. Sri Lanka comprehensively defeated the terrorist group in the country three years ago in May 2009 and ended the 30-year long terrorism in the country, but the supporters of the terrorist group in Tamil Nadu state of India, certain European countries including the UK, France, and Canada have been actively involved in attempts to revive the group.
