Let us not be fooled that the LTTE was the only major terror group. Recall, originally the Indians trained about half a dozen Tamil groups in the Indian soil. Except for the LTTE , all the other groups have had continuous associations with the Indian Army Intelligence. As the LTTE is now fully eradicated in Sri Lanka, this Kilinochchi woman could belong to any of the other jIndian trained organisations.

LTTE is not fully eradicated from the island! And they have support here and abroad.

What was she plotting to bomb? If she survives, she should get life imprisonment like the jihadist in U.K.!
