LTTE air wing: How it began and what it means October 2005 shooting down of UAV should have set off alarm bells Repeated Sunday Times disclosures were buried in denials By Iqbal Athas An incident in the skies over Wanni in October 2005, just months after it came to be known that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had built an airstrip and acquired light aircraft, seems the first occasion when the guerrillas demonstrated their air capability. Yet, the implications of this encounter, strange enough, were buried in denials both from the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). These came after an Israeli built Searc…

Applying the "self-evident" truths celebrated in the Declaration of Independence, the United States should recognize the right of Sri Lanka's long oppressed Tamil people to independent statehood from the racial supremacist Sinhalese. To deny the statehood right — sought by the Tamil people since 1976 — would mark one of the United States' most ill-conceived hours. Double standards beget enmity or contempt, a steep price even for a superpower. To borrow from the Declaration, let facts be submitted to a candid world. In 1948, Sri Lanka achieved nationhood from British colonial rule with a population of about 10 million. The commanding majori…

by Stephanie Kirchgaessner, Financial Times November 26th, 2007 When New York City's Michael Bloomberg launched Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a nationwide campaign seeking to stop the flow of illicit weapons in cities and towns across America, he became a favourite verbal target of the National Rifle Association. To bring more muscle to its fight in Washington, the mayors' coalition in May hired lobbyists at Dewey Square Group. To succeed, Dewey Square would have to go head-to-head with the NRA's own veteran lobbyists at Ogilvy Government Relations, one of the most powerful and well-connected such operations in Washington. Although they are on opposite s…

The concept of martyrdom of the LTTE By: Peter Schalk The LTTE very often uses Tamil words for "martyr" and adds without hesitationthe English word "martyr" in English pamphlets, as if the Tamil words wereequivalents. Let us first make clear what we may mean with '`martyr" in aJewish­Christian tradition. The Western reader is influenced by this tradition.Discussions about "true" and "false" martyrs usually preclude aconceptualisation of what a martyr is. The discussion in the West about what a martyr isis very complex, but we will make it short here. We can say that the image of a martyr meaning "(blood) witness" made up in aJewish Christian tradition con…
