          LTTE?s upgraded radio to start today

Jaffna, Jan. 15: Sri Lanka?s Tamil Tiger rebels will upgrade their radio broadcasts, reaching a wider area with more programmes, to educate Tamils about ongoing peace talks, officials said on Wednesday.

The Voice of Tigers will expand its services using a newly opened broadcast station in Jaffna, home to Tamil minority. The radio can be heard on FM at 98 megahertz starting on Thursday.

The station uses new equipment which the rebels were allowed to import as part of the government?s peace efforts aimed at ending the civil war.

It was not immediately clear if the new services will reach Tamil Nadu. Residents in Colombo could hear the programmes during a trial run that started last week.

The decision to allow the import of the new radio equipment has been criticised by Lankan media, but the rebels? political leader, S P Thamilselvan, said the new services would help keep the Tamil people informed about the peace process.
