Former Tamil Tiger snipers have been selected to represent Sri Lanka in shooting sports at national level. They are among 16 picked at a talent-spotting camp held for ex-fighters last month. Others will represent Sri Lanka in swimming, athletics and cricket. A Sri Lankan sports ministry spokesman said some had even been trained as suicide bombers. The top swimmers picked were with the rebel's naval wing, he added. Those selected are either in government rehabilitation programmes or have completed them. They are now training with the relevant sports bodies. Officials say they hope some will qualify to take part in next year's South Asian Games in Delhi.
