International Counter Terrorism expert Professor Rohan Gunaratna speaking before the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission today stated that the North Korean Government had sold weapons to the LTTE since 1997.
Prof. Gunaratna who spoke before the LLRC a short while ago said that it was the Auditor/Accountant of the LTTE, Ponnaiah Anandarajah who was operating out of Thailand that conducted the procurement of weapons between the LTTE and North Korea.
Speaking further Prof. Gunaratne stated that although the LTTE has been militarily dismantled within Sri Lanka, its global network still remains untouched.
