Govt. of Eritrea providing military aid to tiger terrorists – US Senate report

A report of the Foreign Relations Committee of US Senate has authoritatively said that the Government of Eritrea is providing ‘direct military aid’ to tiger terrorists.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee came to this conclusion after sending six of its staff attached to the Republican Party committee members last year to twenty countries in Asia, Africa and South America.

This is the first occasion that an influential and powerful senate committee such as foreign relations has arrived at a conclusion when discussing the Tamil Tiger activities in Sri Lanka and the threat that it posses to Sri Lanka’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

The report also states it is a violation of the UN code for a member nation of the United Nations to provide military aid against another member of the same World Body which has a legitimate democratically elected government to facilitate a terrorist group fighting for a separate state.

It is stated that Government of Sri Lanka could officially get an explanation from the committee to ascertain more details of the findings of the investigation which was authorized and executed by a congressional committee that covers relations between the United States and foreign nations, in this case with Sri Lanka. Foreign Relations Committee could be reached through the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs of the Department of State.
