Sri Lanka probes poster campaign

The Sri Lankan government has launched a probe into a mysterious poster campaign that is asking would-be Tamil Tiger suicide bombers to turn themselves in to government hands in return for cash.

The campaign, run by an unknown pro-peace organisation, promises a new life overseas and $US93,000 each to extremists who change their minds

Those contemplating taking up the offer are asked to call a government operated telephone line.

The government has denied having any hand in the poster.

A military spokesman, who tried calling the number several time without any success, says the government thinks the poster campaign is a hoax to create mischief.
