Lanka might not win war with Tigers: India 32 more killed in fighting

AFP, Singapore/ Colombo
India has warned neighbouring Sri Lanka that it may not be able to win an ongoing war against separatist Tamil Tiger rebels despite recent military gains, a report said yesterday.
Indian National Security Adviser MK Narayanan told the Straits Times newspaper that Sri Lanka's Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had been weakened but retained the ability to stage terror strikes.

"Our argument is: unless you give Tamils a feeling they have the right to their own destiny in many matters, you will not succeed. (The) LTTE's capacity to cany out tenorist attacks is not diminished, "he said.
"The (Sri Lankan army) has made a lot of progress in the last few weeks," Narayanan said.
"Buteven if they win the battle, I am not sure they will win the war.
"I think they haven't got the Tamil population on their side. I know the Sri Lankan government will be unhappy (at this advice) but... that is the best advice they could get," he said.
India directly intervened in the Sri Lankan conflict in 1987 by sending troops to supervise a bilateral peace pact, but ended up fighting Tamil Tigers.
New Delhi withdrew its troops after a 32-month deployment during which it lost some 1,200 soldiers and many more were wounded. Since then. New Delhi has maintained a hands-off policy towards Sri Lanka, bu t kept close watch.
Sri Lankan troops are currently locked in combat with the Tigers in the north of the island, with the defence ministry reporting a heavy death toll from the area every day.
Sri Lankan military commanders have said they have already crushed the conventional fighting capability of the guerrillas anti were on course to defeat them completely within a year.
On Tuesday Sri Lankan security forces have killed another 26 Tamil Tiger rebels for the loss of six of their own soldiers in the latest fighting in the north of the island, the military said Tuesday.
Troops pushed into territory held by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on at least three fronts in the vast Wanni region on Monday, military officials said.
They said 20 government troops were also wounded in Monday's fighting and placed rebel casualties at another 29 wounded. There was no immediate word from the rebels about the military's latest claims.
