Oct 23, Colombo: Based on sources close to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE), a pro government Sinhala nationalist website has revealed a plot to assassinate President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the earliest possible opportunity once the setting has been decided.

The website close to the government ally Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) says that the LTTE's Intelligence Wing in Colombo are considering two likely methods either to use a suicide bomber or an elite super sniper to gun down the President.

It further said the sources indicated that LTTE is now coming out from a self-imposed non-active period having used this time to draw up various plans to confront the Sri Lankan Forces.

“President Rajapaksa will be attending a political rally on the 10th of November at a public meeting in Nittambuwa organized by the ruling SLFP for their political propaganda at which he is expected to make a key address to the nation.”

Our sources believe that the LTTE will target the President at this rally. It is important to note that a few LTTE intelligence cadres are located in the area having moved there a few months ago,” the website said.
