LTTE is the most dangerous and deadly extremists in the world, Says U.S. FBI
No, it’s not al Qaeda or Hezbollah or even HAMAS, Says the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I). The group is called the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) or the Tamil Tigers for short.
LTTE resume as per FBI is:
* Perfected the use of suicide bombers;
* Invented the suicide belt;
* Pioneered the use of women in suicide attacks;
* Murdered some 4,000 people in the past two years alone; and
* Assassinated two world leaders—the only terrorist organization to do so.
Needless to say, the Tamil Tigers are among the most dangerous and deadly extremists in the world. For more than three decades, the group has launched a campaign of violence and bloodshed in Sri Lanka, the island republic off the southern coast of India.
Its ultimate goal says FBI is to seize control of the country from the Sinhalese ethnic majority and create an independent Tamil state. Along the way, it has launched suicide attacks, assassinated politicians (including a government minister this week and even the Sri Lankan President), taken hostages, and committed all of kinds of crimes to finance its operations. The resulting civil war has taken the lives of nearly 70,000 Sri Lankans on both sides of the conflict since 1983 alone.
