Sri Lanka's world reknowned terror group, the Tamil Tigers are at the recieving end of a determined military campaign, and are whining to the outside world for help.
"... Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation said in its morning news bulletin that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) now hit by military campaign in the north is engaged in an attempt to drag Tamil Nadu to intervene on their behalf in order to see an end to military operations..." http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-07/12/content_8533615.htm
India tried to step in and help the Tamil Tigers and others like them in the late 1980's which resulted in the death and injury to thousands of Indian soldiers when attacked by the LTTE. It also led to the assasination of the then Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi when a Tamil suicide bomber struck on Indian soil.
The current military campaign began when the LTTE, as a 'Final War' towards carving out a mono-ethnic Tamils-only homeland comprising two thirds of the island nation's most economically viable areas for the nation's 4th largest minority commenced attacks which killed scores of military personnel and civillians and also attempted to assasinate the Sri Lankan Defence Secretary.
Many nations including US, EU, UK and India consider the LTTE terrorists and the FBI has called them the World's most dangerous terror group.
