The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE, Tamil: தமிழழவிடுதலைப்புலிகள் ISO 15919: tamiḻ iiḻa viṭutalaip pulikaḷ), commonly known as the Tamil Tigers, is a militant terrorist organization[2] that has waged a violent secessionist campaign since the 1970s to secede from the Sri Lankan state in order to create a separate Tamil state in the north and east of the island. This campaign has developed into the Sri Lankan Civil War, one of longest running armed conflicts in Asia. Due to the tactics employed by the Tamil Tigers, including the extensive use of suicide bombing and their recruitment of child soldiers, they are currently proscribed as a terrorist organization by 32 countries (see list). The Tamil Tigers are headed by their founder, Velupillai Prabhakaran.

The Tamil Tigers are notorious for their well-developed militia cadre, atrocities against Muslim and Sinhalese civilians, and high profile attacks, such as the assassination of several high ranking Sri Lankan politicians, and the former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi. They also have the distinction of introducing suicide bombings as a tactic, and have carried out more suicide bombings than Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and al-Qaeda combined.[2] The LTTE have repeatedly been accused of recruiting child soldiers. The LTTE are the only rebel organization with aircraft.[3]

Over the course of the conflict, the Tamil Tigers have frequently exchanged control of territory in north-east Sri Lanka with the Sri Lankan government, launching numerous armed attacks against the Sri Lankan military in the process. They have also been involved in peace talks to end the conflict four separate times, each time unsuccessfully. At the start of the most recent peace process in 2002, the LTTE controlled approximately 15,000 km2 of area in Sri Lanka.[4] However, after the breakdown of the talks in 2006, the Sri Lankan military launched a major offensive against the Tigers, bringing a vast area under their control and limiting the Tigers to a 172 km2 area in the Mullaithivu District.[5]

As a result of the offensive, there is increasing belief that the final military defeat of the LTTE is near, although the LTTE may launch an underground guerrilla campaign if they are defeated as a conventional force.[6][7] There have also been calls for the LTTE to surrender, including a joint statement issued in February 2009 by the United States, the European Union, Japan and Norway urging the Tamil Tigers to lay down their arms and end hostilities against Sri Lanka, as there was "just a short time before the Tigers lost all the territory still under their control".[8][1]
