A
renegade's pipedream
The
past few weeks have certainly not been an easy ride for the
LTTE's former Eastern Commander, Karuna Amman. With his
supporters being wiped out like flies both in Colombo and the
east, the renegade commander's plans to form a political party
that would oppose Wanni's policies have also taken a severe
beating.
An
interview in the Asia Tribune, however, saw Karuna stoically
proclaiming that he would soon regain control of the east and
then show Kilinochchi who's the boss in that part of Tigerland
at least.
All
this despite the fact that the last few days have seen
military personnel and peace monitors taking on the task of
travelling around the eastern region picking up the bodies of
alleged Karuna supporters that Wanni is systematically taking
out.
"I
am watching this comical circus with a keen interest. How can
they concentrate on talks when danger knocks at their very
door in my form? As they (the LTTE) said, my issue has to be
brought to an end and that could happen only when my group
dislodges them from the east, which would be a reality soon.
Kindly understand that the so called peace talks are the
biggest comical circus ever staged by Pirapaharan."
Yeah
right, that's pretty rich coming from the man who lined up 600
policemen after they surrendered and shot them dead.
