	Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The LTTE proclaims itself as the sole representative and protector of Sri Lankan Tamils, and is generally seen as being the main body with whom the Sri Lankan government must negotiate in the long-running conflict.
		However, the tactics of the LTTE, and particularly its treatment of non-Tamil civilians and Tamil political opponents, have drawn sharp criticism from the international community and led to it being proscribed as a terrorist organisation by India (1992), Malaysia (1996), USA (1997), UK (2000) and Canada (2006).
		The LTTE is suspected of involvement in the assassinations of Appapillai Amirthalingam, Neelan Tiruchelvam, Sarojini Yogeswaran, Pon Sivapalan, Lakshman Kadirgamar.
