LTTE carried out 168 suicide attacks:
The LTTE carried out 168 suicide attacks between 1984 and 2000, the highest by any outlawed organisation during the same period, a senior Sri Lankan minister has said.
Even as the Sri Lankan government described the Friday night air attack by the LTTE as a ``failed stunt'', the Tigers claimed the two aircraft shot down by the military were on a suicide mission and ``successfully'' carried out attacks on the Sri Lanka Air Force Headquarters and the SLAF base at Katunayaka.
