The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), on April 1, denied its cadres made a failed attack on a merchant navy vessel ferrying troops on March 31, in the sea 14 nautical miles north of Trincomalee. Four soldiers were injured and the attacking dingy boat sank in retaliatory firing by the security forces. However, Military Spokesman Brigadier Sanath Karunaratne alleged the LTTE was involved, and said "there were no other persons except the LTTE operating in the area". There should be an LTTE hand behind the incident." Meanwhile, LTTE spokesman Daya Master denied the LTTE’s involvement in the incident and said, "Our cadres did not do this. We vehemently deny any involvement," and added that he suspected "third party involvement". The chief of the LTTE’s naval wing––the Sea Tigers, Soosai said the LTTE is somewhat worried and denied any involvement.

Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Members of Parliament representing Trincomalee district R Sampanthan and K Thurairetnasingham appealed, on April 17, to Tamils in Muttur to strengthen Tamil-Muslim unity. Sampanthan said, "We need the support of the Muslim people who live among us for centuries to find a lasting peace with a permanent political solution to the ethnic conflict.

Some groups, which oppose the present process, are working hard with a hidden agenda to derail the peace process…" Besides, Cabinet Minister and Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) chief Rauff Hakeem, who is camping in Muttur since April 14 to diffuse the tense situation, will not leave to Colombo until the two abducted youth are released, the SLMC said.
