Sri Lankan rebels train Al-Qaida guerillas: report

COLOMBO: Sri Lanka's rebels of the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam are training Osama bin Laden's
suicide units in Afghanistan, the state-owned Daily News said here Saturday.

The report quotes Lord Naseby of the British House of Lords as saying Thursday, "It is now reported from reliable
sources in India that the LTTE is training some of the Al-Qaida units in Afghanistan." Naseby in his address to the
House of Lords was urging the international anti-terrorism authorities not to confine the investigations only to Arab
front organizations but also to extend it to other organizations including Sri Lanka's LTTE, the Daily News said.

"The LTTE terrorists from Sri Lanka are the masters of suicide killings in the world. They learnt their art from the
Hezbollah," Lord Naseby had said.

Sri Lanka's LTTE guerillas are notorious for undertaking suicide attacks. Their victims include a Sri Lankan
president, several opposition and government politicians, a former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi
and several high-ranking military and defense officials. Their first known suicide attack was carried out July
5, 1987, when they drove a truck into the Nelliaydi Army camp in the north of the country killing 40 troops.
