An American Intelligence team has identified the LTTE as the main threat during the United States President Bill Clinton's visit to India since the US government has named the LTTE as a terrorist organisation and banned its operations in the US, the Pioneer, an Indian newspaper reported. The
American advance team of security personnel, who had arrived in India last
week prior to the US President's arrival yesterday, have identified the
LTTE as the group forcing maximum threat to Mr. Clinton. The
advanced team in a special report to the intelligence agencies has stated
six potential modes of threat for the US President during his visit to
South Asia. Among the
six modes of threat listed by the American team are, attacks from the
underground sewer lines, use of the overhead telegraph and electricity
lines, mine blasts, use of car bombs, rocket launchers and other flying
objects, including pilotless planes. "In
the Indian sub-continent, there are several instances of the use of the
car and human bombs to decimate dignitaries. Such methods have been
specially popular with the LTTE, which also takes up contract
killings," the report said. The
US intelligence agencies have also asked for fresh inputs on the LTTE from
their units in Tamil Nadu.
