In a speech to the American Chamber of Commerce in Sri Lanka on Tuesday, US ambassador Jeffrey Lunstead delivered a blunt warning to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to return to the negotiating table or confront a strengthened Sri Lankan military backed by the US.
Lunstead’s
comments come amid rapidly escalating tensions on the island where the
military and the LTTE are engaged in what amounts to an undeclared war.
There is mounting evidence that both sides are deliberately heightening
communal tensions and carrying out provocative attacks and murders.
Each denies responsibility for the wave of killings.
