DBS Jeyaraj discusses the conflicts between various factions within the remnants of the LTTE. ⇒

There are lots of interesting tidbits mentioned, for example: "In a puerile attempt to outshine KP his rival Castro ordered the Diaspora Tamils to demonstrate in support of the LTTE and Velupillai Prabhakaran. Diaspora Tamils began carrying placards supporting LTTE and portraits of Prabhakaran. Western governments and media were shocked. The Diaspora tigers shot themselves not in the foot but the head." TamilNet and a few other pro-LTTE news sources in particular are apparently part of an anti-KP camp, which is why its article announcing the changes to the LTTE leadership was so bizarre.

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
