LTTE Intelligence War – An International Intelligence Perspective!
– Anapaya Cholan
In this month of November, we remember those, who sacrificed their lives to liberate Tamil Eelam and save the people from the racist genocidal Sinhala state. They were our guardians and in memory of the heroes who are waiting to see the liberation of Tamil Eelam, we remember them…
France, which fought for their independence and revolutionized the country, has done a very good article about the LTTE.
“The LTTE´s intelligence gathering and operations based on it have long been at an all-time high compared to the world’s most highly intelligent countries.This led to the supremacy of the LTTE.”
In their current issue The French monthly magazine “DSI” – Defense and International Security for International Security and Military Tactics, conducts a study on LTTE intelligence and espionage under the heading “Martial Arts”. Two columnists do this together.
We have given above the quote given by them.
Continuing their study …
The LTTE started its intelligence agency in 1986 as the National Intelligence Wing. One year earlier, a select group of trainees from the Indian External Intelligence Agency (RIA) had undergone intelligence training. At that time, Delhi had provided its training to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to exert debt pressure on the Sri Lankan government.
Pottu Amman (Shanmugalingam Sivasankar), who was very close and loyal to the national leader, was in charge of this new intelligence unit. Delhi alone is not the mastermind behind the LTTE’s intelligence.
Elected by the LTTE in the 1980s specific fighters were trained in Israel by Mossad, one of the world’s foremost intelligence agencies.
In the years that followed, the LTTE’s intelligence service gained experience with Pakistan’s spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The LTTE’s intelligence unit has carved itself out to be the most highly skilled unit in the world, combining the training and workshop of the best specialized organizations in the world.
The trick to this intelligence technique emerged in 1989. The LTTE carried out supreme diplomacy and intelligence to drive out the weakened Indian army, with the Indian Army buying and building under the guise of peace.
The LTTE’s developmental intelligence revealed its tactics between the Sri Lankan government and the Indian government. The culmination of the investigation should be the manner in which any Sri Lankan government brought the Indian Army into Tamil Nadu, with the same Sri Lankan government, planned and carried out the expulsion of Indian troops from the country.
LTTE intelligence penetrated into the heart of the enemy. The intelligence community created a large network of information providers. The LTTE has set up a large intelligence network inside the Sri Lankan capital. Through this, the targets to be attacked were determined and the actions planned for it. Attack targets and attack procedures were planned based on vital intelligence information.
This network of investigative agents was set up with four start-ups and six agents. The first step was to develop field agents. Major agencies were created to oversee them. These supervisors were not directly involved but intermediaries were created and communicated through them.
However, this network was operated according to a very structured intelligence theory. These agents are on the same network.
While running, the network was kept very secret from one another.
Guided not only in the field of LTTE intelligence but also in the field, operating in different divisions, the available information was consolidated at the headquarters of the intelligence department.
Even ordinary information obtained from supporters in the field was scrutinized and the key points in it were obtained as intelligence information. It were derived from ordinary people, usually from their speeches. Intelligence information was also obtained from the enemy’s speech and interceptions.
The LTTE used the Israeli Mossad’s method of obtaining intelligence from the enemy’s base, supporters’ base and the people. This intelligence is called sayanim in Hebrew.
The LTTE’s intelligence service peaked in 1993. It expanded through activities such as creating intelligence networks, identifying agents and absorbing them.
The growth of LTTE intelligence has divided itself into five major divisions.
The first was the creation of a division called Internal Intelligence and Security. Second was the creation of the anti-intelligence unit. The information provided by the first batch of internal intelligence will be linked to the database collected by the LTTE’s intelligence service and will be verified and compiled by the counter-intelligence unit as complete information. Thirdly, the division operates as the main computer and technology division of the Intelligence Technology, and provides relevant training. The fourth division manages the important administrative units.
The fifth section is the main section you have never thought of.
