COLOMBO: The European Union Court’s annulment of the EU’s ban on the LTTE will help revive the separatist and terrorist outfit in Sri Lanka’s Tamil-majority Northern Province, warned V Anandasangaree, President of the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF).

…Dr Rohan Gunaratna, who heads the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism  Research at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, said: “The court did not conduct a substantive assessment of classification of the LTTE as a terrorist group.”
