Thailand arrests Tiger chief      
[Tuesday, September 11, 2007 - 6.00 GMT]  

LTTE's chief for cross border terrorist activities, Kumaran Padmanadan, alias "KP" has been arrested in Bangkok on September 10, according to the Bangkok Post.

Kumaran Padmanadan is one of the most wanted terrorists by the International Police (Interpol) who has been running the global procurement network of the LTTE terrorists.

The London based defence magazine, Jane's Defence Intelligence Review recently revealed that the LTTE has two international wings namely, "KP" Department and Aiyanna Group, which are engaged in global terrorist activities.

His arrest followed the detention in Ranong province last month of three Tamil Tiger operatives trying to buy guns and 45,000 rounds of ammunition.

All four were suspected of running a Tamil Tiger gun-running ring centered in Thailand.
