The LTTE may now be having its own satellite channel. The Tamilnet website said on Saturday, that the National Television of Thamil Eelam (NTT) satellite channel would be beaming programmes from "an undisclosed location in North East Sri Lanka," from Saturday onwards.
To begin with, for two weeks, the NTT would be telecasting only a 15 minute news bulletin, and that too only for Europe, Tamilnet quoted a NTT official as saying.
The first bulletin would be relayed for European audiences by the Paris-based Tamil Television Network (TTN) at 18.00 hours GMT.
The telecast time would be increased in course of time, and the channel would expand its reach to cover Asia also, the NTT official assured.
It is not clear if the NTT has got the necessary clearance from the Sri Lankan Government.
But whether authorised or unauthorised, it is expected to cause a political storm in south Sri Lanka.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
