Chennai, Jan 3: Tamil Nationalist Movement (TNM) leader Pazha Nedumaran has said that the Sri Lankan Army''s capture of Kilinochchi would intensify the LTTE''s movement in Sri Lanka.

"As the Kilinochchi is captured by the Sinhalese Army, it does not mean that the LTTE will stop the war, but it will be more dangerous to the Sinhalese Government. So far the LTTE followed the traditional way of fighting straight to straight but now they will go for guerrilla fight and no one can blame for this," said opined Nedumaran.

Further, he said that the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse had dishonoured the ceasefire with the LTTE and it is now difficult to predict the future outcome of present crisis.
