LTTE( Tigers)

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, also known as LTTE, was a rebellious organization based in Sri Lanka. The organization consisted of Tamil university students living in Sri Lanka. These were the people who demonstrated violence towards the country. They wanted to achieve independence in the northern and eastern sides of Sri Lanka. It was one of the longest running armed conflicts in Asia and has caused much disturbance to the world. The organization possessed powerful weapons which posed threats to the country, possibly harming the innocent citizens. Their weapon of choice are suicide bombers. Suicide bombers take others along with them when they detonate the bombs tied to themselves, and they are usually women. They also engaged in fierce confrontations and although 4 peace talks involving the Tigers and the Sri Lankan government were held, the Tigers did not give in peacefully. The organization accepted defeat when the Sri Lankan military attacked them during the last peace talk. However, small groups of the LTTE still remain and pose potential threats.
