Exiled LTTE leaders in Canada

Canadian security intelligence authorities are warning that exiled Tamil rebel leaders are re-establishing their violent Sri Lankan separatist movement in Canada, The Vancouver Sun reported.

“We don't know how far advanced it is, but their intent is pretty clear — to set up a base-in-exile here for the leadership. Some leadership is already here,” a well-placed federal government official told the Ottawa Citizen.

The warning accompanied a report late last week to senior government officials revealing that two Southeast Asian smuggling syndicates are arranging the launch of two more shiploads of Tamil migrants to British Columbia in the coming weeks. The boats are expected to carry as many as 50 former Tamil Tiger rebel leaders and fighters, according to intelligence estimates.

    Over 80% of the 300,000 Tamils living In CANADA are Canadian citizens.

    Lucky Tuesday, 18 January 2011 09:16 AM

    Karuna and KP have given up terrorism and decided to be with mainstream Sri lankans. They are not running away from Sri Lanka and not interested in pursuing terrorism to achieve their goals.

    We have to accept them as they have seen the light. Remember, Buddha forgave Ungulimala.

    Asoka Tuesday, 18 January 2011 09:31 AM

    When their numbers are right, eventually they would say that r part of Canada is their traditional homeland. Then they need only one school drop out willing to take arms for a separatist movement.

    Ezhilini Tuesday, 18 January 2011 09:51 AM

    Well, Tamils in Canada have no need to fight with Govt unless they are harrased or treate as minority and they are being killed or burnt.

    Ceylon Tuesday, 18 January 2011 10:17 AM

    so what a joke, when Srilankan government have Karuna, Daya Master, and KP with them, They talk abot middle level cadres. What abt underworld gang, like in singala tamils also have underwrold gang in all over the world.

    KD Tuesday, 18 January 2011 10:51 AM

    Citizen or not, they still the same headache.

    lalith Wije Tuesday, 18 January 2011 01:15 PM

    bren Wednesday, 19 January 2011 02:42 AM

    No they dont you idiot... we are minority every where...

    diham Wednesday, 19 January 2011 02:50 AM

    Why Indian Tamil Nadu is not asking for separate?
    Why in Sri Lanka such a call?
    Look for the root cause.
    Till we find it , sleepless night for us.

    KHKaru Wednesday, 19 January 2011 06:18 AM

    Pl. don't forget Kane, that the breaking away of Karuna from LTTE helped the Govt. in a big way to eliminate VP @ Co. Maybe he was promised a pardon for his past sins beforehand, and enemy of the enemy can be considered a friend. As for KP, he may have spilled enough information to intelligence personnel to warrant his safekeeping, we'll never know. Anyway Canada is welcome to keep all of these (self-) exiled ex-LTTE'rs and we'll be much better off without them.

    kabir Wednesday, 19 January 2011 11:32 AM

    WT HAPPEND IN 1983 NOTHIN HAPPEND? ISNT?WAS THERE ANYBODY TRIED AND CONVICTED? SO WE ARE A CLEAN NATION

    rajah Tuesday, 18 January 2011 04:39 AM

    Canada, be careful from these dangerous LTTE terrotists. They are coming so innocent, so friently. Don't believe them. They are not talking truth.

    meranchi Tuesday, 18 January 2011 03:15 AM

    You feed them now they have right to demand separate state in canada. no room no room in srilanka for such activity

    Bandaraa. Tuesday, 18 January 2011 03:18 AM

    Canada, This is a warning for you all.. Its only a matter of time these L.T.T.E. Terrorist will hold your country & your politicians to ransom and carve a Tamil state in Canada. God save the Queen of Canada. Learn lesson from sponsors of terrorism Britain, India. what has happened to them ? Your good intelligence officers should be able to give the answers. The people who take to arma will get distroyed by the very same arms.

    aiya@malli.ka Tuesday, 18 January 2011 03:37 AM

    Real trouble begins when this 'reestablishment' starts business with former Tigers who are well protected here in SL.

    DR Tuesday, 18 January 2011 03:39 AM

    Pls Canada keep them in your country and feed them like u did in the past. We don't need them.

    wara Tuesday, 18 January 2011 03:47 AM

    Keep them with you Canada. You feed so you keep and look after them well. Don't let them go here and there.

    knight rider Tuesday, 18 January 2011 03:48 AM

    Sammy Tuesday, 18 January 2011 04:29 AM

    It maybe easier for them now to ask for a separate state in Canada itself.

    rosh Tuesday, 18 January 2011 04:39 AM

    Good. Canada too will have sufficient toilet cleaners - like UK

    Bird Eye Tuesday, 18 January 2011 03:13 AM

    Saradial Tuesday, 18 January 2011 04:39 AM

    We can't allow any terrorist anymore, but unless give fair political solutions for minority we can't avoid terrorist threats.

    Konde bendapu china Tuesday, 18 January 2011 04:50 AM

    Since 1983 Canada giving asylum to all the Tamils who ever ask for it,No one rejected So now They can achieve what they miss in Sri Lanka in Canada

    Lal Tuesday, 18 January 2011 05:12 AM

    There is already a mini Tamil state in Toronto. It is expanding, they collect taxes now and soon will have an army, airforce and a navy. Wake up Canada!!!

    wisdom Tuesday, 18 January 2011 05:27 AM

    Good for Canada.....This is what you get for entertaining terroristism....Now deal with it!

    SL lover Tuesday, 18 January 2011 05:50 AM

    I am surprised.The LTTE growth in Canada is well known secret to most of Canadians.LTTE collects funds in public.Sometimes they threat tamil people if they refused to give funds.
    Dear Canada, you will one day end up in a very big problem fue to this terrorist.

    chandana Tuesday, 18 January 2011 06:22 AM

    This is good.They can have there own seperate country in Canada & Sri Lanka is free of terrorism

    wara Tuesday, 18 January 2011 06:22 AM

    No, No, Don't wake up !! keep your good work in keeping and feeding terrorists forever.

    Sumal Tuesday, 18 January 2011 06:20 AM

    Who are those leaders?

    Kane Tuesday, 18 January 2011 06:33 AM

    At least Canada is telling the truth that there are LTTErs in Canada. But SL government though they are harbouring people like Karuna, KP and so on never admit the fact. Can all those who have expresses their adverse comments about Canada, open their eyes and look around.

    siripala Tuesday, 18 January 2011 06:41 AM

    Its only Canada , UK and Australiad defended them. Now bite the bullet and suffer. UK and Australia... you will face the same problem soon.
