The United Kingdom has ranked LTTE as the second intensified terror group. The LTTE has been ranked immediately after the dreaded Al Queda.

The LTTE has gained much advances in the UK soil for strengthening their terror movement which is highly responsible for the killing innocent civilians and both local and international political leaders.

The United Kingdom already has put 44 groups on its list of terrorist organizations. As a result it will become illegal for British to be members of or encourage support for these groups.

Proscription powers are a key tool in the fight against terrorism, creating a hostile environment in which terrorists find it increasingly difficult to operate, whether in this country or abroad.

The 44 international terrorist organizations currently proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000 range from obscure sects to well-known groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda.

In line with this positive effect towards eradicating global terrorism the UK administration is commended for the effective measures taken to nab LTTE gang leaders thus preventing them from using UK soil to reach their terror acts.

A specialist on international terrorism has drawn the copycat terror tactics of Al Qaeda borrowed from the textbooks of LTTE. In an analysis of the lead given by the LTTE for other terrorist organizations to follow, he has highlighted LTTE as the mastermind sets the pattern for organization like Al Qaeda to pursue global terrorism.

LTTE atrocities committed for almost two and a half decades have greatly hindered development of Sri Lanka and the livelihood of the civilians, mainly those living in East and North parts of the country.
