LTTE denies role in suicide blast
Sri Lankaâs Tamil Tigers on Thursday denied responsibility for a suicide bomb blast in the capital that killed four policemen and the bomber and raised fears for the future of a bid to end a protracted civil war.
âThe LTTE strongly condemns acts of this nature that cause severe damage to the peace process,â said Daya Master, a spokesman for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), speaking from their headquarters of Kilinochchi in the rebel-held north. âWe deny involvement in Wednesdaysâs violence. We assume this act of violence could be the work of anti-peace elements,â he said.
| Holmes! How do you do it? |
âWe strongly condemn this act, which could confuse the people who are hoping for peace and disrupt the prevailing peaceful environment,â the LTTE said in a statement. The Tigers said that alleged military and police backing a breakaway Tiger leader, V Muralitharan, who is better known as Karuna, led to Wednesdayâs bombing in a high security zone in Colombo. âWe are suspecting that it is the granting of refuge to these groups and the permission given to them to act freely in Colombo that has paved the way for yesterdayâs attack in Colombo,â the LTTE statement said.
