EELAM.

This is coolbert:

The EELAM Tamil Tiger bomb-chucker squadron is at work again.

The forces of the central government in Colombo seem to be powerless to stop these attacks.

"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!!??"

Again, the effect of these attacks is more economic than anything else. This time an oil storage depot was attacked. Sri Lanka is totally dependent on imported oil. Such an attack CAN HAVE devastating economic consequences. And more.

"One commercial airline, Cathay Pacific Airways of Hong Kong, has announced that it is suspending flights to Sri Lanka indefinitely.

It had only recently resumed flights there after halting them in the wake of the rebels' first air attack a month ago."

Tourism is a major source of revenue for Sri Lanka. Cathay Pacific cancelling flights will hurt bad.

Read here what the South Asia Terrorism Portal [SATP] has to say about this attack.

[this particular web site, the SATP, gives you the intelligence dope, up-to-date, on all the various south Asian insurgencies. SATP is very professionally done, from sources that have a lot of experience with counter-insurgency!?]

Asymmetric warfare in action.

"Tora - Tora - Tora"

["Tora - Tora - Tora" is of course the code words signifying total surprise by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. Tora = Tiger!]
