Colonel Karuna, the leader of a breakaway faction of Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tigers rebel group, has been arrested in Britain and is being held in immigration detention.

Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan, better known as Colonel Karuna, was arrested in an operation carried out by Britain’s immigration authority and the London police, the Home Office said.

Karuna, the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)’s former eastern commander, led an unprecedented split from the group in March 2004 and is said to be collaborating with government forces against the main guerrilla outfit.
