Malaysian Police Counter Terrorism Unit has arrested four men suspected to be top level members of the now-defunct LTTE, a Malaysian news agency reported.

Malaysian Police Chief Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said all the arrests were made simultaneously at several locations around Kuala Lumpur and Maharashtra.

He said the four detainees were suspected of involvement in terror attacks in Sri Lanka and of plans to make Malaysia as their base of operations.

"The first suspect is a card holder of High Commission of the United Nations for Refugees (UNHCR). He is said to be an expert in explosives. The second suspect was alleged to have been involved in the attempted murder of former President Chandirka Kumartunga,” Mr. Bakar said.

"The third suspect has been collaborating with a Sri Lankan citizen who was arrested by the same team on May 14 and the last suspect was the person responsible for the delivery of information to the LTTE for the attack.”
