who know who is shooting whom , may be the rulers want to make a rift between karuna and pillayan

The gun men are obviously Karuna's and Pillayan's suicide squad,Douglas also has his own and recenly Mervyn said that there is one to protect the president.

Terrorists are terrorists.

This was due to mistaken Tamil 'identity' crisis... started by the Tamil Terrorist Diaspora, TTD.

what kind of law and order would you expect from a country which is ruled by "law breakers" who needs the help of these thugs!!!

Once upon a time ,Pillaaiyan and Karuna were terrorist leaders of LTTE. Now, under the present regime they are Leaders of Democratic Socialist Terrorist Organisation of Eastern Province.
They are "tail of the dog" so no one cant correct them.

Excellent. Mahinda's plan is working perfectly. Karuna and Pillayan are destroying each other themselves.
