COLOMBO: The Sri Lankan government on Sunday night said a group of hooligans suspected to be sympathisers of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam raided its mission in Oslo and caused extensive damage.
“It is a shocking incident and we are disappointed with the Norwegian government for not taking proper measures to protect a diplomatic mission right in its national capital. Luckily, no official in the mission was injured but the damage to the property is extensive,” Sri Lanka Foreign Secretary Palitha Kohona told The Hindu.
Asked about the attackers’ identity, Dr. Kohona said the government was convinced that the LTTE was behind the attack. He said the mission was under threat from sympathisers of the Tigers for several weeks now.

It seems Norway has failed to provide security even to an Embassy so how can they provide a peaceful solution to World most Dangerous Terrorist Organization LTTE ?
