Erasing of Tamil National Leadership by the LTTE (1975-2006) The following are evidences of the Tiger Supremo's hatred over the Tamil leadership. Astonishingly, the static's show a fearsome percentage of seventy seven percent (77%) killing rate over the Tamil leaders the rest being other national parliamentarians and politicians, by the LTTE terrorists from 1975 to 2006 excluding the failed attempts. Hence it is vested upon you to decide whether to continue funding such terrorism, and replenish its cause of brutality against the innocent Tamils.
