Stunned by allegations that LTTE was operating terror camps in Tamil Nadu, India on Thursday came down heavily on Sri Lanka, asking it not to react on "speculative" and "uncorroborated" reports. Sri Lankan PM D M Jayaratne had said in Parliament on Wednesday that LTTE still had training centres in India.
"We have seen reports from Sri Lanka referring to the Sri Lankan prime minister's statement in their Parliament alluding to the presence of LTTE training camps in Tamil Nadu. We categorically deny the existence of any such camp," official spokesperson Vishnu Prakash said.

The case against Douglas is that he, along with a group of Sri Lankan youths staying in Choolaimedu in 1986, had opened fire on local residents, killing one Thirunavukkarasu. The incident dates back to the time when LTTE-led militancy was at its peak. All the accused were arrested and later released on bail. As they did not turn up for trial, the IV additional sessions court here had declared them as proclaimed offenders and absconding accused.
