Sri Lanka rebels have threatened to resort to their own means and modes of transporting in the government controlled areas if suitable action is not taken by the government, according to Official Website of Peace Secretariat of Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam Friday.

In a letter addressed to Head of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission in connection Friday with the transport arrangement of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) member, S. P. Tamilselvan, head of the LTTE Political Wing, said that "the LTTE will be forced to resort to its own means and modes of transport if suitable action is not taken to effectively implement the travel proposals submitted on June 30 without further delay."

"In terms of the cease-fire agreement (CFA), the government has the responsibility to ensure the safety of our unarmed members engaged in political activities in military controlled areas", Tamilselvan said, adding acting in bad faith will only lead to the disruption of the cease-fire environment and push the CFA into a grave and complex situation.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on July 1 gave the government two weeks to step up security for their members traveling through government controlled areas.

The announcement follows the landmine attack in Welikande on June 26 on the LTTE convoy escorted by Sri Lanka Army and facilitated by the truce monitors.

However, Sri Lankan government on Monday has rejected a Tamil Tiger rebels' accusations that its troops had had a hand in a landmine explosion on a bus transporting their members late June.

The government has also pointed out that providing of military escort for LTTE's movements through government controlled territory is a confidence building measure.
