In a violent clash erupted between two rival LTTE factions in Oslo, on Sunday( August 12) evening, a Tamil expatriate was killed while two others sustained serious injuries foreign news agencies reported.

According to news reports, two factions of the rival LTTE figures Soosai and Pottu Amman had clashed with each other fiercely at a supermarket in Kallbakken in Oslo. The two pro-LTTE gangs were armed with guns and swords and commuters were much terrified on the street mob which hindered the normally peaceful neighbourhood in Kallbakken.

The reports further added that an injured LTTE supporter had sustained a pistol shot injury and a deep cut by a large samurai sword. The injured were receiving treatment at the Ulleral University hospital. The Oslo police estimate that at least ten Tamil gangsters were involved in the crime.

The dead was identified as Rajan alias 'Selika', while the injured were namely Kannan and Kuhan, all said to be former LTTE combatants.

Recently pro-LTTE factions have taken their clashes into the streets under the asylum given by the Norweigian government. The Tamil communities in Oslo and suburbs have become the elite voters in Norwegian elections, presenting a majority over the 'Nomadic' descendents, reports said.

Questions has aroused why the Norwegian government officials had taken a silent note on to the street fights and planned mobs by factions of the LTTE now a frequent occurrence in Tamil populated areas. It was also revealed lately in a report based on substantial evidence produced by the Norwegian anti terror activist, Peter Rovik that Norway has become the hub of an European Tamil under world which is also believed to be linked to the most ruthless terror organisations such as Al Qaeda and Jihad.

Surprisingly, in the 'Global Peace Index', rankings issued on 30th May, Norway has been placed 01st despite giving asylum for terrorist supporters of an internationally banned terror outfit. Oslo itself has become a popular breeding ground for pro-LTTE gangs who take on reprisal attacks on other Tamil expatriates who oppose funding or ideologies of the LTTE.

On 06th July, 2006, a Norwegian lady journalist Nina Jhonsurd who works for a popular Norwegian news paper named "Dagsavisen", escaped death when LTTE operatives in Oslo opened a burst of gunfire at her private resident in Oslo. Nina was the Journalist who exposed the corruption of the LTTE leader, Yogaraja Balasingham, rigging the Oslo municipal elections.

The latest news related to the Oslo clashes is that one of the involved is a LTTE professional murderer wanted for murder in another European country. Some of the involved has recently been transported into Norway from France.

The LTTE and the labor party had a joint press conference in attempt to defuse the situation. Jan Bohler, a leader in the Labor party and Norwegian LTTE leader Yogarajah Balasingham participated in the press conference that was carried by the Norwegian national TV2 television. The Norwegian LTTE leader tried to defuse the incident and gang related and a family dispute. The LTTE leader and Mr. Jan Bohler from the Labor party portrayed it was a minor problem and nothing for Norwegians to worry about.

The Norwegian police verify that several of the dozen people where Tamils with no legal residence in Norway. They had come to Norway to "fix some problems".

For Norway and the international police this is a wakeup call. Here we did see a team of LTTE sympathizers moving between countries armed with pistols and swords. It is sixteen years ago since the first Norwegian intelligence report revealed the LTTE had arms depots in Europe.

In Britain we know about ten LTTE gang related murders. The LTTE terror seems to be a hot export article. The victims of the terrorism export are usually the Tamil Diaspora and those who work against the LTTE. European police forces and human rights organisations have known about the LTTE crime problems but nothing has been done.
