Defeating terrorism in Sri Lanka: A Case Study of Military Success

Terrorism has plagued countries around the world, causing fear, destruction, and loss of lives. Sri Lanka, a small island nation in South Asia, has had its own share of experiences with terrorism. The country faced a brutal and prolonged conflict with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a militant group seeking an independent state for the Tamil minority in the Northern and Eastern provinces of Sri Lanka. The LTTE's use of suicide bombings, assassinations, and guerrilla warfare tactics made them a formidable enemy for the Sri Lankan government.
