Mr.T. Semmanan, LTTE Jaffna district deputy political head, in a press note released Tuesday, dismissed as baseless the allegation of the Eelam Peoples Democratic Party (EPDP) that LTTE is behind the killing of EPDP members in Jaffna district. "There is clear evidence that internal rift in the rank and file of the EPDP has been the cause of the killing of EPDP members," said a statement signed by Mr.Semmanan.

LTTE has no connection in the killings of EPDP members in Jaffna district, said the press note.

Since the first of September till 28th Tuesday in different incidents five persons including one EPDP member and one EPRLF ( Varathar wing) have been killed.
