LTTE plans to attack Singh

The Indian Intelligence Bureau has issued alert this evening that LTTE is planning to assassinate Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Indian media reports said.

The LTTE, which is almost on the verge of a wipe out, is trying to regroup and planning to launch spectacular strikes on high-profile targets like Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Home Minister P Chidambaram and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi.

According to an intelligence input, some cadres of the LTTE, who escaped the wrath of the Sri Lankan Army during the all-out operations in the island nation earlier this year, were trying to regroup in India and planning attacks on top political leaders, particularly when they travel in Tamil Nadu.

The security agencies have taken the input seriously as former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by LTTE suicide squad members in the southern state in 1991.

Besides, Prime Minister Singh is also likely to visit Tamil Nadu next month to attend some public functions.

"Though LTTE is now a weak force and all top leaders were killed during the Sri Lankan Army's assault, attempts to regroup by some cadres is a disturbing report," an official said.

LTTE is a defeated force in Sri Lanka today after the death of Prabhakaran but some of the disgruntled elements of the decimated organization wants to avenge their killing. They think that Indian government silence during Sri Lankan government attack on them is responsible for their present plight.

If SL wants to extend the emergency regulation their will be a story of LTTE, as same if India wants to extend the ban on LTTE there will be a story. And this is it…

Viraj Thursday, 16 December 2010 04:25 AM

May be Rajiv was also killed to achieve the same purpose. Da.........who are you kidding?

shanthapriya Thursday, 16 December 2010 04:31 AM

tissa Thursday, 16 December 2010 04:33 AM

Kavitha, do not drag innocent Tamils back to terrorist tactics and activities. Now they live happily with their fellow countrymen

Mifaz Thursday, 16 December 2010 04:59 AM

No it is racial discrimination

Roshan Thursday, 16 December 2010 05:13 AM

This statement made by India is just to remind SL that LTTE is still active and need India's help for future.

cdj Thursday, 16 December 2010 05:33 AM

nagu Thursday, 16 December 2010 08:26 AM

LTTE was wiped out in SL not in India...........So be careful India....You dont want another Mumbai....

tissa Thursday, 16 December 2010 04:14 AM

raj, leave behind your terrorist ideology and start to love humanity

xlntgson Thursday, 16 December 2010 10:54 AM

No, I think the other way around, this might be a ruse to kill an Opposition leader like Jayalalithaa to pass the buck on the ruling alliance!
They may go for an easy victim, as their shadow even can't reach the premier's security cordon!
If the chief minister invites such a destiny, it is no wonder because he likes to hobnob with them always; running with hares, hunting with hounds simultaneously.

Hasiya Thursday, 16 December 2010 11:59 AM

typical narrow minded thinking..

Thambi Thursday, 16 December 2010 12:26 PM

Ragu Wednesday, 15 December 2010 04:38 PM

This warning seems to be politically motivated to give substance to ban LTTE in India and Viko's appeal.

Kavitha Wednesday, 15 December 2010 05:04 PM

M.R.Percige_Putha Thursday, 16 December 2010 03:17 AM
