News Feature: Does Sri Lanka have an Intelligence Service?

Monday, 12 March 2007

A question that has crossed my mind on many occasions is; does Sri Lanka have an Intelligence Service? It's open knowledge that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have a sophisticated Intelligence Agency headed by Mr Pottu Amman.

However, to-date there seems to be no evidence of a Sri Lankan Intelligence Service.

We hear requests to foreign governments and their intelligence services to limit Tamil Diaspora funding for the LTTE.

We also read repeated column inches of LTTE cadres killed, boats sunk and camps demolished at the battlefronts. .

As far as Colombo is concerned, the white van abductions seem all too random. Businessmen appear to be the prime targets, followed by young Tamil men. None of these white van abductions had managed to halt the three suicide bomb attacks that took place in 2006.

Many, including Sinhalese here wait the next bombing knowing fore well that the abduction victims were all innocent civilians.

Sri Lankan 'intelligence' in the Tamil Homeland is just the same.

Not a single senior LTTE leader has been killed or injured by Sri Lankan fire during the past year of conflict. The only places the mighty Kfirs could 'pin-point' were Sencholai Children's Home and the Kilinochchi Hospital.

Abductions in Jaffna, Vavuniya and Batticaloa appear to be just the same as those in Colombo. Tamils men aged between 16 and 60 are taken.

I am privy to some local information reaching from relatives in these towns. According to them, most of the abducted were family men with no political connection what so ever.

As Tamils, I think we should call for a Sri Lankan Intelligence Service to be established.

Perhaps this would stop them from randomly abducting and murdering any man who is Tamil.

Perhaps it would also stop them from bombing Children's Homes and Hospitals. They would target LTTE positions instead.

Of-course I have said the above with the assumption that Sri Lanka does not have an Intelligence Service.

If I am wrong with the assumptions, then the conclusion is that innocent Tamil civilians are being targeted by the Sri Lankan government apparatus as a logical part of their campaign of genocide against the Tamil people of this island.

Not sure why we are complaining about the inefficiencies of the Sri Lankan intelligence. It suits us well, as long as we can make use of it.

The armed forces killing Tamils is not going to stop even if they have a good intelligence service. They do that because they like to. These are a babarian race. They just give excuses. They like to molest children and rape women then kill them all.

Somebody should nuke them.

Of course the Sri Lankan intelligence service is extremely intelligent.

They very intelligently tried to wipe out international diplomats and ambassadors by flying them into a war zone then blamed the LTTE afterwards.

Have some minimum respect for the intellect of the Sri Lankan government.

Sri Lanka has two main ethnic groups.This is a recipe for a fight.we should have three or more ethnic groups like in Britain .We in Britain do not know who to fight!!!!

So,solution: Relax immigration controls.Take all and sundry except convicted criminals.The country will become a first world country in 30 years and we can have intelligence services like Mossad or MI5 .

Two ethnic groups are not the cause of the problem. Neither will multiple ethnicities fix the problem. They are both irrelevant. Britain had war for many centuries between English & Scots & Irish at various times.

There are already many convicted criminals in Sri Lanka masquerading as Buddhist monkeys and racist politicians. Because the Sri Lankan government is desperately short of convicted criminals, they have already imported mercenaries from the Ukraine and elsewhere to bomb Tamil orphanages.

The entire world will eventually send all of their convicted criminals to Sri Lanka. And Tamil Eelam will simply enforce border controls to keep them down south.
