LTTE underwater vehicles found - Mullaittivu Sri Lanka Army Task Force 3 found an LTTE underwater vehicle and along with 3 other suicide boats from the Udayarkattukulam area last morning (Jan 29). Military sources said that this was the most startling recovery made by troops so far during the on going counter terrorist operations against the LTTE.
With this discovery the LTTE will go down in the history as the first terrorist organization to develop underwater weapons. Also, the LTTE is the first terrorist outfit to introduce suicide bombers to the world and to develop naval and air arms. Defence observers are in the view that the LTTE has been able to come this far in terrorism warfare because of the leeway given the outfit by the international community. Until recently, the LTTE sympathizers were given opportunity raise funds freely in the western countries to buy arms and ammo. The outfit has been able to operate a fleet of ships to smuggle arms, engage in drug trafficking and human smuggling to make money, etc, in many parts of the world. With hired hands in many international media, NGOs and various other front organizations the outfit has been able to portray itself as a liberation organization to the world and to put international pressure on the government when taking military action against it. http://isithaonline.blogspot.com/2009/01/ltte-underwater-vehicles-found.html D.M.
