Tamil Tigers sympathizers in New York accused of terror support

NEW YORK


Supporters of the Tamil Tigers rebel group in Sri Lanka sought to have the group removed from a list of terrorist organizations and to obtain classified intelligence by bribing U.S. officials, authorities said Monday.

In a sting, detailed in a newly unsealed criminal complaint, undercover agents posing as U.S. Department of State officials were offered millions of dollars during a series of secret meetings in an apartment on Staten Island.

At a meeting in July 2005, one defendant asked undercover agents whether they "could stop the United States government from sending arms to the Sri Lankan government" and "provide intelligence about this issue," the complaint said.

Another "made it clear that he had traveled to the United States on behalf of (the Tamil Tigers') senior leadership in Sri Lanka," including the group's founder, the complaint said.
