Having read what the LTTE have done to previous challenges, I am not surprised that they will go after this man as well.
Colonel Karuna’s actions have sparked the rebels’ worst crisis in two decades of armed conflict for a separate Tamil homeland. Mr Varathan was still wearing dark glasses at twilight and was always by the side of his leader, the colonel, who must be the most endangered man in Sri Lanka. That is quite something in a country where suicide bombers have killed a president, a prime minister and hundreds more.
