The banned rebel group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is planning to attack Sri Lanka. The Hindu newspaper The Hindu reported that the attack could take place next Wednesday (May 18).
The Sri Lankan government is naturally concerned about such news during the Great Depression. According to the Sri Lankan Daily Mirror, the Defense Ministry has been asked to provide information to Indian intelligence about the 'attack'. They said the information was provided to the media as "normal". The Indian intelligence service has said that steps will be taken to investigate the matter and inform Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan Ministry of Defense has issued a statement in this regard. It said Indian media reports of an attack planned by the LTTE would be properly investigated. Subject to investigation, further steps will be taken to strengthen the security of the country.
Earlier, The Hindu had published a report on the threat of LTTE attack. According to the report, Sri Lanka is mired in economic and political crisis. With this opportunity, the LTTE could reorganize and launch an attack on the country. The Indian intelligence service has also warned the neighboring country.
