LTTE threat still alive - IGP

The threat of Tamil Tigers is still alive in Sri Lanka, the island's police chief said.

Addressing a meeting in Minneriya, Polonnaruwa, IGP Jayantha Wickramaratne urged the public to be vigilant on 'secret activities' of the remnants of the LTTE.

The IGP declared open a new police post in Minneriya, an area adjacent to eastern province, where the government declared the defeat of the LTTE nearly two years ago.
