No review to remove LTTE from terrorist organisation list - US

 

The US has said yesterday that there is no review or move to remove the LTTE from the list of terrorist organisations.

"LTTE is on our foreign terrorist organisation list. That's where it stands," State Department spokesperson, Robert Wood was quoted as saying in Zee News website in response to a question over some Tamil American organisations request in this regard.

"I'm not aware that there's a review process going on right now with regard to that," Wood said.

A group of Tamil American organisations have written a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asking her to remove LTTE from the list of terrorist organisations.
