LTTE's newly appointed "Political" mouth piece Nadeshan has fiercely urged the SLMM officials with serious concerns for failing to officially announce regrets over the loss of Thamilchelvan.

This was announced today (08) following a meeting held at an unknown location in Kilinochchi with the Head of SLMM, Major Gen. Lars Johan Solvberg, who was called by the LTTE leadership, in an attempt to smother the mounting pressure from diasporas to Wanni, in the death of Prabakaran's former body guard.

According to informed sources, this is the first occasion by the former Sri Lankan Police Constable (PC) Nadeshan since taking on positions as the cheer leader of the terror outfit in the demise of Thamilchelvan.

The meeting was called -on immediately under directives given to Nadeshan, who also happens to be a close relative of the terror Chief, from the Velvettithurai locality, our informed sources said. Reports confirm that the SLMM Chief was urged to open a dialogue with the Sri Lankan government on behalf of the LTTE to smother the rising dismay among the pro-LTTE fund raising groups based overseas.

Nadeshan has also said to threaten pro-LTTE Norwegian Political movements for their lack of commitment in supporting the LTTE's separatist cause. Norwegian resided LTTE supporters hold a large chunk of votes in the up-coming elections, our European correspondent said.

The SLMM(Article-03, CFA) composing representatives from Nordic countries was established as an International monitoring body, following the truce signed between the present opposition party and LTTE in 2002.

"Child soldiering" a crime unabated:
Though the SLMM has established headquarters both in Wanni and Colombo since its inception, local

monitoring activities only take place in Districts of Jaffna, Mannar, Vavuniya, Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Amparai. The LTTE has prohibited any sort of monitoring of CFA in non-liberated Districts of Mulaithiuvu and Kilinochchi, where more than four-hundred fifty children were reportedly forced to join the Tamil Tigers during 2006, bringing the total number of child soldiers in their ranks to more than one-thousand, defence sources citing a VoA report on 30th August, 2007 said.

The report followed a testimony given before the European Parliament, by the Human Rights Watch representative, Charu Hogg saying, "People in the northern Sri Lankan city of Kilinochchi say the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or Tamil Tigers, insurgents are forcing families to turn over at least one family member to serve as combatants. Among those forcibly recruited are children".

He further said, the Tamil Tigers have "forcibly recruited for combat boys, girls, men and women." The insurgent group, said Ms. Hogg, "continues to murder its political opponents, largely in the Tamil community".

Threats to truce monitors:
SLMMs earlier took a sudden decision, to remove seven of its offices in the North and East, slackening the terror outfit to continue its freelance crimes against humanity and forcible conscription of child soldiers to its ranks.

Also in 2006, LTTE instructed SLMM to suspend from monitoring activities and refrain from sailing with SLN vessels threatening grave repercussions for its monitors.

LTTE is a ruthless terrorist organization which is fighting for an ethnically pure separate homeland since 1983. The outfit which operates on ideologies based on extreme tribalism has killed over 65,000 people in its two and half decade terrorist war against Sri Lankan citizens.
