At least the LTTE suicide bomber's target GoSL personnel. The Palestinian terrorists just target civilians.<BR/><BR/>The reason the palestinians are oppressed is because they and their Arab buddies from next door tried to wipe out Israel. Got their arses kicked and now they're paying the price. Boo hoo.<BR/><BR/>This site's about Sri Lanka.

No ground attack capability?"<BR/><BR/>Technically they can attack ground. But we doubt they will be used for that role. SLAF have been using the F-7Bs (3 aircraft) and the FT-5 (1 aircraft) to attack ground targets when the MiGs were grounded about two years back and in 2001.<BR/>But now we have plenty of aircraft for Ground attack (7migs and 10kfirs). SLAF's weakest link is the air to air role. So they may try to close this loophole once and for all by maintaining a dedicated fighting wing.<BR/>We simply cant afford to let the tiger air wing grow. Remember, the sea tigers also started out small. Look where they are now and look how much of a disturbance they have become. If the same happens with their air wing it will be 100x more trouble than the sea tigers are currently giving.<BR/><BR/>As for the specs regarding the F-7Gs, some have already answered that question so no need of us there.DefenceNethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553575476849786179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-68749965087604210202008-02-11T22:09:00.000+05:302008-02-11T22:09:00.000+05:30guysspeak of the devil.

He swears that he spoke to someone who resembled KP in a Khartoum hotel. At the times, the Sudanese military government was closely linked with a radical named Ahmed Tourabi. Since then the Sudanese Govt and Tourabi have fallen out. Friend claims that Tourabi visited this KP look alike at the hotel. Upon his return, the friend informed all relevant law enforcement agencies in his country of domicile.CASChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01362520666064815560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-56868532774108230752008-02-11T20:53:00.000+05:302008-02-11T20:53:00.000+05:30thanks cakeboy,I think even if KP is on the loose ...thanks cakeboy,<BR/><BR/>I think even if KP is on the loose if our SLDF manages to plug the gaps he wont be in a position to supply as he used to do.. i am pretty sure most of the supplies which were flooding in some time back is reduced to a trickle now...<BR/><BR/>its a matter of time it could be completely stopped, providing no political interference in the ongoing operations.Riyazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06824805024162511752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-39956493059199142152008-02-11T20:48:00.000+05:302008-02-11T20:48:00.000+05:30cakeboy,We dont want to kill LTTE cadres in europe...cakeboy,<BR/>We dont want to kill LTTE cadres in europe/U.S.<BR/>it will give all those people who are waiting for R2P(right to pack and leave the country with son)an excellent opportunity to say that now SLanka is killing tamils overseas and god arbour will arrive in SLanka..<BR/>What we want to do is to take care of our good tamil people in the north and thats all.<BR/>If the LTTE want to kill each other overseas thats upto them..<BR/>We dont want Karuna's boys to kill the LTTE either because as of now their fighting days are over.Now they have lots of other important things in life such as education which will benefit our country greatly.What will be nice cakeboy is our people competeing with the LTTE supporting tamils for jobs overseas.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-8911047957670501482008-02-11T20:47:00.001+05:302008-02-11T20:47:00.001+05:30Riyaz, thanks!Everything you want to know about KP...Riyaz, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Everything you want to know about KP (very sketchy)<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumaran_Pathmanadan<BR/><BR/>he made it into wiki<BR/><BR/>What I did learn was that KP is married to a thai woman whose father is high up in the thai military<BR/><BR/>If was unfortunate that KP was captured while there was a military government. <BR/><BR/>If it had been today, perhaps things might have been different and he might be getting a daily massage with a cricket bat courtesy of the military intelligence.<BR/><BR/>HOwever saying that our embassy officials do not seem to be on the ball this part of the world.<BR/><BR/>They should be taking a closer look at Thailand and building better ties with the new government.<BR/><BR/>They should also be watching countries such as Malaysia, Burma and Indonesia.<BR/><BR/>However Mr Bloody Boggles does not seem to be on the ball.
