Abstract
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which was formed in 1976 in response to the growing ethnic and political tensions between minority Tamils and majority Sinhalese in the northern and eastern areas of Sri Lanka, had threatened the legitimacy of the Sri Lankan government. As a response to this armed conflict, the counterterrorism strategies of Sri Lanka continually adapted to the evolving terrorist tactics. The Sri Lankan government finally subdued the LTTE in 2009. The main counterterrorism strategies of Sri Lanka are (1) effective sharing of intelligence between countries in the fight against terrorism; (2) better intelligence efforts by the Sri Lankan military forces; and, (3) continuous intelligence data gathering to counter efforts of various organizations to revive terrorist activities in Sri Lanka. It expands the strategy through a collective and consistent effort based on all elements of national power.
