Netherlands arrest LTTE suspects

 
Seven LTTE suspects were arrested by the authorities in the Netherlands. The arrests was made after an intensive study of the LTTE banned activities in the Netherlands, quoting the National Criminal office BBC reported.

Sixteen residences and businesses were searched in the operation and computers, paperwork, phones, documents, photos, DVDs and a sum totalling more than 40,000 euros were seized.

"Among the suspects are the leaders of various organizations of Tamils in the Netherlands, which probably play a role in the international network of the LTTE," the Justice Ministry said in a statement.

Leaders of the Tamil Coordinating Committee (TCC), the Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO), the Tamil Youth Organisation (TYO), the Tamil Women Organisation (TVO) and the Tamil Arts and Cultural Organization Netherlands (TKCO), are believed to be among the suspects.
