Worldwide legislative pressure against terrorist front organizations raising funds to finance terror in third countries is an advancing tide which the LTTE will find difficult to resist, according to a recent publication. The
publication further pointed out that the US
State Department listing of the LTTE as a
terrorist organization has resulted in large numbers of US-based Tamils
shying away from an organization now branded as "terrorist." The
result is a growing erosion of the LTTE's support base in North America, Canada following
suit
with law enforcement authorities determined to put a lid on LTTE
operations. Britain is not far behind, the publication said. LTTE
activists have now undertaken Mafia-style techniques to operate the "Tamil
entertainment" field by organizing such events to make a handsome
profit, and in return providing "protection" by LTTE
security firms. Events
that are not organized in accordance with the LTTE's self-styled designs are subjected to
sabotage. Several such incidents have been reported from Geneva and West London. The
report further stated that the LTTE is also setting up radio and TV
stations in the West with the aim of manipulating the Tamil community
with frequent provcoations against the Sinhala people in order to increase their funding towards their
terrorist campaign in Sri Lanka. However,
Canada is increasingly becoming aware of the threat posed by the LTTE
against the country itself, since the Tigers have changed their plans by
engaging in other money-spinning trades like drugs and arms trafficking and
other criminal activities, political sources said. "They
cannot forever go on posing differently. Their mask on the verge of
slipping off," the sources added.
