Six field commanders of the Karuna group have been put on the ‘Most Wanted Persons’ list by the LTTE Vanni faction, whose group in the east had distributed leaflets to that effect, sources said yesterday.
The leaflets carried the names and photographs of the six outlawed Tigers, who have been branded as traitors and criminals by the Vanni group.
The leaflet released by the political division of the Batticalao - Amparai districts, has sought the details of those six members of the Karuna group including Sinnathambi, Marakkan, Mangalan, Imiya Bharathi, Uruththirai and Pillaiaiyan who were heads of the lowest rungs of Karuna’s military machinery, sources added.
The leaflets requested the public to come forward with information on the whereabouts of these wanted cadres to enable the Vanni forces to arrest or eliminate them.
Posters too had been put up on the same lines but with the addition of the message "We will soon identify other Tamil traitors too, who are surreptitiously works against us," sources added.
