"If Jayewardene was a true Buddhist, I would not be carrying a gun" Velupillai Pirabakaran, leader of the Liberation Tigesr for Tamil Eelam, tells Anita Pratap. Q: What made you opt out of a conventional system and spearhead a liberation movement which you knew would be outlawed?

With the ceasefire dead, what now for Sri Lanka? Violence in Sri Lanka has escalated over the past two years, but there are widespread predictions of even greater bloodshed when a moribund ceasefire officially ends later this month. The 2002 ceasefire halted two decades of conflict between the government and Tamil Tiger rebels, but it began to unravel in 2005. "The last two years have been the most violent in a 25-year-long war which has taken over 70,000 lives," the Wall Street Journal says. The paper asks whether President Mahinda Rajapaksa's "war of attrition" against the Tamil Tigers will work or simply plunge the country into more violence. …

LTTE could gain from Tamil Nadu realignments MR Narayan Swamy (IANS) New Delhi, March 11, 2006|13:29 IST Tamil Nadu's close race for power might prove a mixed bag for Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger guerrillas, rather than the windfall it could have been for the insurgent group outlawed in India.

But if India's ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) ousts the MDMK for aligning with its foe in …
