Actually, Sri Lanka now faces a bigger threat in spite of the eradication of the LTTE’s military capacity. Let me quote: “…her ambiguous response to the Russian intrusion into Afghanistan and her giving active support to Sri Lankan Tamil militants. If the British-French bid to halt the Sri Lankan military offensive succeeded, in April 2009, terrorism would have received unprecedented recognition. McDonagh, in Sept 2011, declared, in Parliament, that the Sri Lankan military killed 100,000 Tamils, including 40,000 civilians, in January-May 2009 alone. However, Sri Lanka should be cautious of on-going moves in different countries to pressure Sri Lanka over accountability issues.
