 Definition: the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims  Reflection: Our definition on Terrorism is putting a group of people in danger based on your own beliefs.

 Location: LTTE Sri Lanka  Size: 5,000 to 10,000 guerillas  Goals:  Weapons used:  suicide vest ( invented)  website: eelam.com  Goals:  Tamil struggle for self-determination  seeking a fair and reasonable political solution, without relinquishing the inalienable rights of the Tamil people. supply military equipment to the Sri Lankan terrorist organization

 only terrorist group to have assassinated two world leaders Dec 19, 1999 President Chandrika Kumaratunga appealed to minority Tamils in Sri Lanka today to join their fighting in terrorism.  Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger movement fell into category of Belligerents under the international Humanitarian Law. The act was described the existence of an armed conflict. The parliament of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka continues to affirm that men and institutions remain free only when freedom is founded upon respect for the rule of law.

World Response:  The prime ministers of Canada, Mauritius and India have withdrawn from the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting  Countries are upset that the government is based on amplification and lies. They say that they exaggerate too much "There's a huge disjuncture between what is said abroad in terms of criticism and lack of rights and the freedom and the justice and equality

 Countries where conflicts have ended, there is a persistent risk that the very same ideologies that seeded and drove the conflict will return with an vengeance.  Strategy is to win hearts and minds of the combatants and build bridges of friendship between the affected communities.
