LTTE bid to disrupt civilian life in Jaffna The LTTE is attempting to disrupt civilian life in Jaffna by demanding that people living close to military camps and checkpoints in the peninsula vacate their homes and that all government offices and institutions stop functioning. The Tigers are using posters displayed mostly in the Gurunagar and Thenmarachchi area and also distributing pamphlets as part of this campaign, Jaffna residents said.
