SUICIDE CADRES DEPOLYED IN LONDON

There is a so called death fast going on in London by two 'students'. It is now well established that the LTTE has for years used student visas to get thier operatives abroad and into places where they can be useful as propaganda tools and also as spies keeping an eye on the expatriate tamil diaspora. The visa status and their own individual status allows such Tamil Tiger operatives to move freely and be replaced with ease in the event of exposure to law enforcement or becoming ineffective.

One of the young tamil guys on death fast who goes by the name Subramaniyan is yet another student who arrived in Britain three weeks ago. Subramaniyan told The Times on Wednesday 36 hours after beginning his fast that five members of his family had been killed in the past few days as the Sri Lankan Army closed in on the rebel fighters’ stronghold. “I heard yesterday that my mother, my sisters, my brother and his son are dead,” he said. “One of my sisters and my brother were members of the LTTE. They are not terrorists — they are freedom fighters. I want answers for my family’s death, otherwise I will not leave here.” His story raises interesting and troubling questions; how could someone leave abroad for educaiton at a time when his own family is facing imminent annihilation? Given the seriousness of situation the LTTE members in his family were facing, it is hard to believe Subramaniyan is just another innocent. My bet is that he is a trained terrorist, or someone who is now very willing to become such an entity.

The Tamil Tigers are considered the world's most dangerous terrorists by the FBI and have been banned in most nations across the world. They are currently under military pressure in Sri Lanka following a decisive campaign by the island nation to eradicate terrorism from its shores. Cornered into a thin strip of land facing the dark blue sea, the tamil tigers have been given an ultimatum by the Sri Lankan government to surrender or perish. Thousands of tamil civillians held hostage by the tigers are starting to escape, leaving the LTTE leadership to face the brunt of the SL government's long arm of the law. Caught between a hard place and the deep blue sea, the Tigers are desperately in need of outside assistance to bail them out.

Having failed its achieve its objectives by using suicide bombers on the streets of Colombo in Sri Lanka, the tamil Tigers have now deployed one to the streets of London. Quite obviously for Mr.Subramaniyan to arrive in London just in time to go on hunger strike is no coincidence. His motives and whether he is a genuine student pursuing an educational agenda or not needs to be assessed. The very sense one gets of this individual is that he too is a tamil tiger and his hunger strike is a much milder form of protest than what he could easily be capable of. If he too is a tamil tiger like the rest of his family, strapping on a claymore mine and walking into a crowd on a busy London street could easily be the next thing he does to draw attention to his cause.

London now has its own potential resident Tamil tiger suicide bomber. This could be the wild card that London's best may need special training to deal with. Ask any one familiar with the a situation involving Tamil Tigers; Mr Subramaniyan will never go quietly. His type always take a few others, usually innocent bystanders, along with them in a loud flash and bang. When that happens the pieces will need to be shovelled and the ground washed clean. But the sense of terror they leave behind will incapacitate London's innocent for years.

London's nightmare could be much bigger than Subramaniyan. He's probably the only one they now know about, who is willing to die readily and waiting patiently for the orders to do so.
