| Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani revealed on Sunday that the terrorists who attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore earlier this year were financed by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Talking to reporters after visiting Religious Affairs Minister Hamid Saeed Kazmi at the Al-Shifa Hospital on Sunday, Gilani said that he had been told by Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse -- during his recent visit to Libya -- that the Tamil Tigers had funded terror attacks in Pakistan, including the commando-style attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team at Lahore's Liberty market roundabout. The PM said that both countries were investigating this possibility, adding that the LTTE may have funded other attacks in Pakistan as well. The prime minister also said that Interior Ministry officials will visit Sri Lanka to follow up on this lead. |
