General Sarath Fonseka: The Defeat of the Liberation of Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE), the Re-emergence of the LTTE and the strategic plans of the attack on the LTTE

摘要

The Liberation of Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE) is considered to be one of the most organized terrorist organizations in the world today based on its capabilities, expertise, modus operandi in guerilla warfare, management of funds and in its operational structure. Headed by Vellupillai Prabhakaran since its inception in May of 1976, the LTTE soon became the most feared terrorist group in Sri Lanka. The LTTE is the only terrorist organization that has an Army, Navy and an Air force within its organized structure. The suicide attacks have been LTTE's trademark and its greatest achievements in most of its targeted operational attacks as it is the first terrorist organization to carry out such activities in the past three decades.
