Dear Sir/Madame,

RE: US Envoy escapes LTTE Attack.

What is the internationa standard in flying diplomats or any non military neutral parties into a battled area?

Shouldn't ICRC or any other organization be informed beofre such vist by VIP and the saftey be guaranteed by the warring parties?

Did the GOSL make a miscalculation in thinking the East is cleared of LTTE?

How would the LTTE know of such a visit? whereas LTTE intelligence would be concentrating on military information, further the GOSL has been saying the LTTE is almost negated in the East and the LTTE is dirven into jungles!

How could the GOSL blame LTTE deliberately attacking the diplomats?

Did the GOSL knowingly and cunningly submitted the lives of diplomats in danger to muster world support? or just hoped this would come to such an end?

Could you please reply or write a fact filled general article?

Thanks

Once agian, a try to put a blame on LTTE and get the world sympathy. Inturn get military support and buy cheap craps from Pakistan to fight the war on tamil. Its a question of how long the indian tamils going to keep on saying the "central" will do something, yet central is in a deep cave, as SL is trying to bring China and Pakistan, just to keep India scared, and side with SL. Wake up Tamil Nadu, its time for you to do something.

SL army purposly fired shells into LTTE controled area first. LTTE retaliate to SL arcotic armys artilery. First of all westerners should expect this, when they go into the war zone. Another thing is the world should understand LTTE is still in Baticallo Area and control most of the places

Srilankan military are the worst cowards on the earth and they deliberately took the foreign ambassidors to the volatile war zones of the east without informing the LTTE as they do normally to avoid casualities among foreigners. Srilanka is callous enough to do anything and everything to get support fro the USA, EU and others to continue theri genocide of Tamils with the help of the world. As per INDIA, SRILANKA ONLY HAVE TO KILL SOME TAMILNADU TAMIL FISHERMEN IN ORDER TO PLEASE INDIA WHO THEN HELP SRILANKA WITH WEAPONS AND FREE WARSHIPS.
