Tigers hunt for soldier

The LTTE had threatened a Tamil woman with death after failing to track down her husband K. T. Raheem who is a soldier and her younger brother described as a staunch EPRLF activist. Military sources said a group of armed LTTE cadres visited C. Saraswathie’s home at Thimilattivu, Batticaloa on Sunday night. They had threatened to set fire to her house if the men wanted by them weren’t found the next time.

According to a complaint lodged with Batticaloa police, three grenade-carrying LTTE men identified as Ranjan, Wanikaran and Eyinkaran had searched her house.
