"The government has evidence that the LTTE has plans to use chemical weapons against the Sri Lankan security forces. During the past several weeks our security forces have detected LTTE cadres transporting large quantities of acid," Wickramanayake told Sri Lankan Parliament today, news agency Indo Asian News Service reported. He said this was a violation of the international military warfare law. There was no immediate reaction from the LTTE to this charge. |
