LTTE is a terrorist outfit fighting for a mono ethnic
separate homeland for the Tamils in Sri Lanka since 1983. Engulfed with
ideologies based on extreme tribalism, LTTE has carried out many
civilian massacres against Sinhala and Muslim people living in the North
and Eastern provinces. Since, beginning of its bloody terrorist campaign
against Sri Lankan citizens LTTE has been able to turn the entire
Northern Province into a mono ethnic province by killing tens and
thousands of people in its ethnic cleansing raids at Sinhala and Muslim
villages.
