Tigers pouring fighters onto riverbank
Tamil Tiger guerrillas have begun pouring fighters along a district border in northeastern Sri Lanka, heightening fears of a showdown with renegades, the rival faction said on Tuesday. The main Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has built up its strength to about 400 fighters by deploying an additional 85 cadres since Sunday along the banks of the Verugal river in Trincomalee district, the rivals said. “They have begun strengthening on their side of the river along the Trincomalee-Batticaloa district border,” a spokesman for the renegade regional commander Karuna said by telephone.
