Sri Lankan authorities today detained a Canada-bound container with a cargo of propaganda material for the island's Tamil Tiger rebels, a police official said.Police were asked to investigate the consignment of promotional material for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), on its way to Canada from the south Indian port of Chennai via Sri Lankan capital Colombo.
"There were 45 cartons of LTTE books to an address in Canada," said the police official, who asked not to be named.
The Tamil Tigers were militarily defeated by Sri Lankan security forces two years ago, ending 37 years of ethnic bloodshed. The Tigers remain a proscribed organisation in Sri Lanka as well as in neighbouring India and in Canada.
But the Tigers have a strong support base in south India as well as in several Western cities and have pledged to keep up their campaign for an independent homeland for the island's ethnic Tamil minority. (AFP)

No gimmicks by the government. War crimes of LTTE should be on LTTE sympathizers.
Konde Bendapuchhena Tuesday, 17 May 2011 10:44 AM

Heamu Tuesday, 17 May 2011 11:42 AM
He is madly confused about English. The article does not say it is Tamil propaganda. Do not drag Tamils to LTTE wagon. If you wish please remain in LTTE wagon . We do not care

Justin Tuesday, 17 May 2011 04:30 PM
I agree. Now the Govt. needs some excuse to give the UN
for extending the Emergency. How long can they do this?N K Ratnam Tuesday, 17 May 2011 08:24 PM
Here we go again. Surely it must be that time of the month when the parliament discusses extending the state of emergency.
Rajitha Wednesday, 18 May 2011 02:13 AM
Please always want to confuse any issue with the "Tamil Issue" the moment the LTTE is implicated.
Why ? ?mohan Wednesday, 18 May 2011 02:38 AM
why port authority open transshipment ? did they know what inside. or pre-plan drama ?
Oyage sudu kella Wednesday, 18 May 2011 05:07 AM
Thanks for your duty in trying to keep us safe, SL Police. We need people like you who sacrificed the wesak holiday which I really njoyed. You are great !
Lanke Banda Wednesday, 18 May 2011 06:51 AM

Anushka Tuesday, 17 May 2011 08:51 AM
Are you stupid? Tamil people don't need propaganda
raju Tuesday, 17 May 2011 08:58 AM
Rubbish, good thing that the govt did not say there are arms in that container, it is totaly inside game of the srilankan govt to divert the anti srilankan feelings in tamilnadu.
