New Delhi, Oct 06: The Peoples War Group (PWG) of naxalites which carried out a failed assassination attempt on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, has got links with LTTE and received expertise in using improvised explosive device (IED) from the Sri Lankan outfit. "There are links between PWG and LTTE as the expertise in use of IEDs has been inculcated in the PWG from the Sri Lankan organisation," Advani told reporters here after presentation of national award for excellence in public administration and management of sciences for 2002 to renowned scientist R A Mashelkar by President A P J Abdul Kalam.
"However, in the attempt on Naidu`s life, one cannot say that LTTE had a role in it," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
