Informed sources say that around 70 cadres of Sri Lanka's Eastern Province based breakaway rebel party Tamil People's Liberation Tigers (TMVP) have fled the organization to rejoin the Tamil Tiger rebels during the past few months.
Some of these cadres have killed their colleagues prior to their fleeing to join the Tigers, sources say.
There are around 1,200 armed cadres of TMVP in the Eastern Province. Plans are afoot to recruit 300 of them to Civil Defense Force and to send another number for foreign employment.
TMVP is a breakaway faction of Tamil Tigers and they helped the government to regain full control of the Eastern Province and to win the Provincial Council election there.
