Some 230,000 civilians are trapped in the fighting zone.     The government created a humanitarian corridor for the civilians to leave the battle zone. But the rebels with a strict pass system holding them on, the government said.     The LTTE has several international proscriptions and definitions as a terrorist organization. This includes the governments of the United States, India, Britain and Canada.<a href="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-12/22/content_10543244.htm" target="_blank">xinhuanet</a>Ban LTTE vote now  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
