US Cable notes coordinated attacks on TRO in East and Colombo suggest government working with paramilitaries
Description
US cable: Meanwhile, the LTTE-affiliated international NGO the Tamils Relief Organization (TRO) reported that paramilitary cadres "with the Sri Lanka Army" raided its Trincomalee and Vavuniya offices between January 5-7, stripping the offices of computer and electronic equipment, burning documents and assaulting a security guard. On January 8, a police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) unit raided the TRO's Colombo Office. These nearly simultaneous attacks on TRO offices by paramilitaries and security forces are another strong indication that government security forces are working hand-in-hand with anti-LTTE paramilitaries in the east. End summary.
