Nothing will happen as he may have sold the equipment to the Army through well connected parties at top.

OH, THEY REALIZED IT ONLY NOW ? EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS ARMS DEALERS ARE THAT !

arm dealing is a business, there is no ethics... only profit...

They say, "Money is the Root of All Evil".

There is no ethics or morality in arms sales. Who are we kidding & why are we complaining?

How about catching the culprits within the government, who procured these arms from shady dealers, and filled their pockets with thumping commissions?

The LTTE had Chinese weapons too; although, we prefer to 'worship' China and downplay their duplicity.

Why did the government go to an 'arms dealer'? Surely, they could have negotiated a government to government deal, at a much lower cost.

All things will unearthed, in time to come.

This is quite natural. Dealers, in arms or otherwise, will sell wherever, or to whomever, they can, in order to make a 'fast buck.' We cannot expect dealers to be patriotic.

Isn't this how it usually works?

good story keep on writing...

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:38 PM

it is easy to guess where this story is going to lead and who is that arms dealer is.

I totally agree with "citizen". Someone is going to be the scape goat.

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 03:24 PM

Both parties played the Double Game !.

I think we should stop talking humbug on LTTE matters again & again , instead positively plan how to develop our country in the long run & act fast.

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:56 PM

This is not news. It happens all the time.

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:46 PM

Who is this fellow? Maybe KP will know!

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:45 PM

Tony Stark... Right ???

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:45 PM

Who ordered? SF's son in law?

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:45 PM

No wonder !!, Exactly same as "Peace" brokers like Akashi.

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:40 PM

we must expose this company to the world so no country will buy arms from them. so will the terrorists. let them close the company soon by doing this. also we have no more war in sri lanka. thank god. thanks to our president.

Nothing will happen. All double gamers will eventually edn up in top positions, may be even as MP's and Ministers.

Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:38 PM

May be some corrupt officers in the Army sold to LTTE, not the supplier. The Government should investigate how it got into the hands of the LTTE.
