If they (the rebels) believe in the cease-fire and the upcoming peace talks, there would have no need to increase the strength of their Sea Tigers cadres.

The LTTE has tons of money and in the past three years they have regrouped and rearmed with latest weapons smuggled in.

In the final analysis, these are signs of preparation of war and the government should be aware of it.

The situation has deteriorated. It's a big, big blow to the cease-fire and the whole peace process irrespective of who is behind this.

The fire department pulled me out, literally, like a newborn baby. By risking their own lives, they went on that bus. About one minute later, that bus blew up like a Roman candle.

Conservatives are all fire and brimstone.
