The LTTE has carried out around many of all suicide attacks in the world

While surfing the internet I found that many people have done compilations of suicide attacks, worldwide. The following article, by an anonymous author, is a list of suicide attacks by the LTTE in Sri Lanka. When I read this I asked whether it is possible to achieve anything meaningful in this way? Where is the humanity; is there a limit to how cruel people can be?

The LTTE has carried out around 1/3 of all suicide attacks in the world (The list below contains some of the TAMIL TIGER TERRORIST Suicide Attacks).

Since its first suicide attack in 1987, the LTTE has successfully used the art of suicide bombing to achieve the elimination of political leaders, including moderate Tamil leaders who were part of the democratic political mainstream.

The use of the cyanide capsule is a standard method of the LTTE suicide bombers to evade arrest. Even its leader Velupillai Prabhakaran proudly displays a cyanide capsule around his neck and has made it mandatory for all LTTE cadres to carry one, to reflect the spirit of sacrifice and martyrdom expected of an LTTE suicide bomber.

The LTTE has taken its suicide technology into the maritime perimeter by attacking civilian shipping with explosive laden boats. The cargo carrying ‘MV Liverpool’ was attacked off Point Pedro in January 2007.

Analysts have noted the similarity of the LTTE suicide bombing technology and that used in other parts of the world.
