URL: http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/srilanka/

Description:
This companion site to a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Frontline feature provides background on Sri Lanka, its civil war, and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE or Tamil Tigers), "one of the world's most notorious terrorist groups. In their unrelenting drive for a separate homeland on the island, the Tigers have carried out more suicide bombings than Hamas, Islamic Jihad and al-Qaida combined." Includes video, a reporter's diary, and commentary.
