Tamil Tiger Links with Islamist Terrorist Groups

Summary: The links between the Islamist terrorist groups and the LTTE are not driven by ideological compatibility, but by the need to influence factors of pricing and convenience in the informal arms market. In most cases the LTTE has developed links with Islamist groups to organize consolidated purchasing opportunities. The LTTE with an annual budget of US$ 200-300 million, supported by an institutionalized procurement network, diaspora based technical expertise and a shipping fleet is a valued partner to other terrorist groups in negotiating procurement deals. The LTTE has the capacity to provide logistical support and facilitate training to partner entities. The LTTE has used its shipping fleet and technical expertise for the delivery of weapons and transfer of competencies most often driven by financial motives and lucrative commercial opportunities.

Ram Ranjan from NJ, USA on Oct 20, 2006 20:20:43 GMTHi Everyone, I am from New Jersey, USA and I am saddened to see an emotional outburst from my fellow Tamils, in particular slandering Hon.Frank Pallone from New Jersey. In the civilized world, one is required to follow a code of writing ehtics when disagreeing with someone. It is wise for us Tamils to always point out the facts than getting into condemnation. I am very thankfull to Congresman Pallone for acknowledging Tamils right for autonomy in Sri Lanka in a statement on the floor of the US congress a few weeks ago (please see Tamilnet.com). He fully supports the peace procees and an equitable solution to the ethnic conflict. We need to continue to provide him information about the atrocities committed by the armed forces, about the indiscriminate bombings, about the culture of impunity that previals in Sri Lanka. That is how we could make him understand the true nature of the Sri Lankan government. So Please refrain from mud slinging against any elected officials, and engage positively with them to put forward the truth in our struggle for peace and justice in Sri Lanka.

thanks
