Defeated Tigers target civilians
9.1.2008

After the abrogation of the Ceasefire Agreement (CFA) the Tigers have changed tactics. They are not putting up the fight they were expected to in the battlefield where they are losing cadres and territory daily. They have moved to target unarmed civilians in urban areas. Military sources consider this as a desperate move of the Tigers who are facing defeat in all fronts. Political commentators consider thie abrogation of the CFA as the biggest blow to the Tigers after Thoppigala. The Tigers have lost all what they gained on February 22, 2002 when the CFA was signed. This act of abrogation has legalized the ground situation after the fall of Thoppigala. There is no legal or political basis now for the Tigers to claim what they lost in the east.
