Abstract

The history of terrorism in sri lanka is mainly a history of the Tamil Tigers and their use of suicide attacks to promote an independent Tamil State, but there is also another terrorist history that the country has dealt with, and that is the uprising and insurgencies of the JVP party of Sinhalese nationalism. These groups have crossed paths many times over the past thirty years, but is mainly the Tamil who are still a violent force in the region.

For the last four decades, the island of sri lanka has seen the effects of a violent civil war between the “ruling Sinhalese majority and a revolutionary minority group called the Tamil” (Bhattacharji 1). This group has been fighting for their own independent territory mainly along the northeastern border of the island. Their militant body is a group of rebels that are known as the Tamil Tigers. This group has gained attention internationally because of its use of violent terrorism against both civilians and infrastructure, and mostly because it was one of the first groups to use the tactic of suicide bombing.
