Sri Lankan Intel agencies have unearthed vital information into
remaining LTTE international terror activists engaged in human trafficking,
arms smuggling and financial frauds bases in East Asia, Western Europe, Canada
and Africa.
According to reports, Sri Lankan Intel agencies & the
INTERPOL has joined forces in a coordinated effort to bust the foreign based
LTTE international terror network. The Sri Lankan government has come to the
realization that unless LTTE’s foreign based terror network is nabbed, there
can be no end to terrorist activities in the country and in the South Asian
region. For this purpose, Sri Lankan intelligence services have stepped-up
fresh anti-terror operations to pin-down most wanted LTTE terror sleuths. The
Intel agencies are optimistic of cooperation by the concerned governments in which
the terror suspects are identified to be in self-exile.
According to reports, officials are moving ahead more than
just tight scrutiny on Sivarasa Pirundaban alias Achchudan alias Suresh,
Bahitharan alias Bhavi, Narendran Rathnasabapathi alias Naren, Ganeshruban
alias Ruban and Ponnaiah Anandarajah alias Aiyya alias Rajah and a few more
LTTE activists who are connected to arms procurement, transshipping while
posing as businessmen.
