The Sri Lankan government is to hold talks with the LTTE in Geneva. But LTTE delegates who thought that they could use the terror-financed junket for a shopping spree should be disappointed.
The government also voiced that there will be restrictions on the LTTE during their stay in Geneva. The Defense Spokesman Minister Rambukwella said: “The talks are not to appease the LTTE… And this time there are strict measures – even shopping is banned.” [AT]
But how will the Sri Lankan government implement this ban? It’s unlikely that the Sri Lankan government has any influence with Swiss retailers. Perhaps it will be left to customs officials in Colombo to confiscate the goods from LTTE delegates’ luggage.
