Tamil rebels warn of looming war

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3884033.stm

Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels have told the BBC they fear the country
is drifting back to war.
The head of the Tigers' political wing, SP Thamilselvam, has said the
two-and-a half-year-old peace process has reached its lowest ebb.

In an interview given in rebel-held territory, he accused the Sri
Lankan government of acting in bad faith and trying to undermine a
ceasefire deal.

A suicide bombing on Wednesday heightened concerns for the ceasefire.

The Tamil Tigers denied involvement in the Colombo bombing, which left
four people dead, but warned that their truce with the government was
looking increasingly fragile.
