LTTE Seeks Legal Loopholes on Foreign Soil

Sunday Observer (Sri Lanka)

The LTTE is now reorganising to seek legitimacy on foreign soil through loopholes in their legal systems with the same ruthlessness and deceptiveness it operated in Sri Lanka in the post 2009 phase, International Terrorism Expert Rohan Gunaratna said.

Commenting on the recent ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) that may unfreeze LTTE assets in the EU, he said LTTE groups are planning similar cases in Canada, US, UK, and India where the LTTE is still blacklisted.

“Unless the Europeans respond, other terrorist groups will also follow in the LTTE footsteps”, he said.
