Sri Lankan rebel group the Tamil Tigers say they are forming a "provisional transnational government" to pursue self-rule for the Tamil minority.
In a statement released from an unknown location, a Tigers' spokesman said the new body would advance what he said was the next phase of the struggle.
The move comes almost a month after the government declared it had finally defeated the Tamil Tigers, or LTTE.
Rebels had fought for decades for a Tamil homeland in the island's north.
Its not going to stop while these people hate each other, Tamil Tigers are going underground at a guess within a year more terrorism.

You're right, there's a chance the hatred will never stop Babel-Fish. But I wonder if the IDP's will have to stay longer in the camps because of the statement made by the Tiger's spokesman. This could just make matters worse for the civilians held in the camps since the Sri Lankan government might use this as an excuse to keep them longer in there. The reason they give might be that they are still screening the civilians to make sure their not LTTE rebels and that they do not support the LTTE.
