Tamil Tiger leader defends use of human bombs
A top Tamil Tiger leader today defended the use of suicide bombers in combat against Sri Lanka’s government as the guerrillas held street parades during an annual memorial for suicide cadres who died while fighting for a separate homeland on the island nation.
Every July 5, the rebels honour members of a special suicide squad, known as the Black Tigers, who are a key part of their struggle for an independent state for the country’s 3.2 million ethnic Tamil minority.
