Eight non-profit organisations and five companies are operating in Canada as fronts for the Tamil Tiger Terrorists who specialise in suicide bombings and political assassinations in Sri Lanka. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) report shows that several organisations and businesses operating within Canada are suspected by the Government of being linked to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), sources reported. The Tigers have traditionally raised money through the use of front groups such as the World Tamil Movement (WTM) and Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO) which raise funds under the banner "humanitarian organisation." Ironically most funds raised under the humanitarian banner are channelled to fund the LTTE war efforts. Designated by CSIS as fronts are: WTM (Toronto), Tamil Eelam Society of Canada, TRO, Federation of Associations of Canadian Tamils, Tamil Co-ordinating committee, Eelam Tamil Association of British Columbia, WTM (Montreal) and Eelam Tamil Association of Quebec. The sources further revealed that the Tigers are so reliant on Canadian funds that they asked WTM fundraisers last year to garner an additional $10-million. The latest strategy of fundraising involves the use of "front companies." The sources revealed that the businesses serve dual purpose: They generate profits that pay for the war effort while also providing "a covert conduit for directing funds to the LTTE's main procurement offices in Thailand." According to CSIS report two import/export companies were established in Toronto recently at the request of Tharmalingam Shanmugham, alias KP or Kumaran, the Tigers' chief arms buyer. The LTTE propaganda network has been trying its level best to win the sympathy of the international community by distortion of truth and fabrication of false information to disgrace the Sri Lanka Government. During
the past six years President Kumaratunga's government had been committed
to re-establishing peace in the war torn north and east parts of Sri
Lanka. Her government has put forward the devolution package, which is
believed to be the best possible solution to ethnic crisis.
