There are many more countries, including Britain and India who continue to ban the LTTE. Besides, what has the lifting of the LTTE ban by EU got to do with banning an existing International terrorist group like Al-Qaeda? Make sense.

Hay man, ISIS is routing protocol using on Networks.

Coconut Donkey Friday, 06 February 2015 10:39 AM

Who is responsible for the lifting of the ban? why do you think the previous regime wanted the ban at least temporarily lifted? First educate yourself and then talk or do yourself and everyone else a favor and keep quiet.

An absurd comment..........so what you say is to allow Al-Qaeda and the Taliban to operate without hindrance?

Liberal One Thursday, 05 February 2015 09:50 PM

When EU is lifting the ban on LTTE we are banning Al-Qaeda. I wonder when we will get leaders with some dignity.

Nihal Amarasekera Friday, 06 February 2015 09:26 AM

To be "Liberal" why not Recognize ISIS too who are barbarian enough to burn human beings alive, in the name of whichever cause or god.

mack Friday, 06 February 2015 09:26 AM

it wont take long for ISIS set root here so ban them immediately via DM Android App

Palmsquirrell Friday, 06 February 2015 06:04 PM

Must also ban all the Pakistani militant outfits like Lashkar-e-Toiba, Lashkar-e-jhnagvi, Sipah-e-sahaba , Jundullah and many more of their ilk. These sectarian groups have be terrorizing Shia,Chrisitans,Hindus,Ahmadiya,Sikhs so they will leave and Pakistan can be pure Sunni.

Ranjith Abeywickreme Friday, 06 February 2015 09:37 AM

The ban should include both BBS and ISIS too

Dutchy Thursday, 05 February 2015 10:22 PM

Remove the red tape and immediately proscribe ISIS too. Its impact may be 3 time LTTE
