Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. What the Tamil Tigers are most known for are its cadre of suicide bombers known as the Black Tigers. 2. When the cease-fire failed and the Tamil Tigers resumed their violent activities, the Sri Lankan government went on an all-out offensive, including removing all civilians from the Tamil areas and declaring all who remained to be combatants and fair game. 3. Most within the CIA expected the Mujahideen to crush the Soviet Army within a few months, or maybe years. 4. One of the major reasons that there is a huge distrust of the United States in Pakistan is that they feel used. 5. In evolving a set of principles for economic growth in the areas formerly controlled by the LTTE, the Sri Lankan state would need to provide substantial economic resources through the annual budget, for a decade or more, in a spirit of reconciliation, for a successful plan for stabilization and economic reconstruction. This would be doing something more than the British did for those regions and, more to the point, what the LTTE did.
