"Upsurging People's Force" warns of resuming attacks in Batticaloa

[TamilNet, Saturday, 25 March 2006, 18:39 GMT]
A handbill issued in the name of "Upsurging People's Force" in Batticaloa on Saturday warned that the "UPF" would be forced to resume attacks against the paramilitary groups and the Sri Lankan armed forces if abductions and harassments continued to take place in Batticaloa and Amparai districts.

The handbill said the "UPF" had ceased offensive attacks before the talks in Geneva in February 2006.

However, the "detoriating ground situation was about to dictate the kind of response," the handbill warned.
