Tigers warn against sale, misuse of abandoned arms
The LTTE has warned people in the East not to collect weapons abandoned by Karuna's faction when its members made their escape before the onslaught launched by the Wanni leadership.

The warning came after people in Batticaloa had reportedly collected weapons and other equipment which had been abandoned by Karuna's loyalists. The LTTE statement said that belongings including weapons have been collected by unscrupulous persons and disposed of to unwanted parties and therefore people should understand that the properties of the LTTE are the properties of all.

"The belongings of the movement have been bought not merely for money but by shedding blood and sweat. The dreams and tears of the dead heroes are there in all property", the statement said. The LTTE Batticaloa-Ampara District intelligence wing had requested that if any property belonging to the LTTE is found anywhere such property should be handed over to the LTTE immediately.
