LTTE plotting to use chemical weapons

I am finally catching up on my CBN reading, thanks to Bugs ‘n’ Gas Gal for her links.

While terrorism is dropping around the world, the terrorists are getting more desperate and are looking at 'better' ways of scaring the civilians they want to terrorize and/or kill. Chemical weapons are expensive and will not effect the military! Biological weapons are the next step. I wonder how long it will take to get there?


LTTE plotting to use chemical weapons: "LTTE plotting to use chemical weapons LTTE's plot to utilize chemical weapons in their future battlefields has been tracked by the Intelligence sources.

There is enough evidence available to prove that the LTTE already has built up stocks of Cyanide and Potassium during the ceasefire period, the Asian Tribune reports.

The security forces were able to find 3,600 liters of sulfuric acid on 12th August 2007 in Anuradhapura north - Medawachhiya. The occupants of the tipper vehicle which carried the acid were handed over to the CID (Criminal Investigation Department) and it was reported that the suspects had past records of smuggling explosives to LTTE controlled areas, as well as from LTTE-controlled areas to government controlled areas.

It is revealed that the LTTE has an underground laboratory in the Adampan area bordering Mannar - Kilinochchi districts. This suggests the LTTE are planning for chemical attacks in the near future.

The tiger terrorists have set up laboratories, motor factories, as well as well-equipped hospitals. In 1989 they made mortars called Arul Mortars with a simple method of filling chemicals to rockets with which to fire toward Army camps.

The intelligence sources states that LTTE is planning massive genocide in the future because they have lost control of the Jaffna peninsula and the East and as Sri Lankan security forces have confined Prabakaran and his cadres to Kilinochchi, Mulaithivu, Mannar North and the Wanni North."
