Tamil Tigers in sea suicide
2003-02-07
Three Tamil Tiger terrorists rebels have blown themselves up after Scandinavian truce monitors boarded their heavily armed boat, hours before peace talks were due to begin in Germany. The Three members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) committed suicide on their trawler off the northern coast of Jaffna as they tried to smuggle arms on the island. "They have blown up the boat. They have gone with the blast," said Teitur Torkelsson, of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission.
I wonder how many Houris Non-Muslim martyrs get?
The peace monitors who had boarded the boat are reported to be unharmed, having disembarked before the explosion. Earlier, the truce monitors said the discovery of an anti-aircraft gun, grenades and ammunition on board the ship was a "clear violation" of the truce signed last February.
I guess tigers can't change their stripes
Correspondents say the initial euphoria over Sri Lanka's peace process has ended and negotiators now have to steer their way through emotive human rights issues, like the demobilisation of rebel child soldiers.
