LTTE schools in Europe a threat says ministry


The government says more than 350 schools operated by the LTTE in Europe could pose a threat as the schools are being used to promote LTTE ideology.
According to the Defence Ministry over 20,000 students are receiving education at these schools located mostly in Germany, Switzerland, France, The Netherlands and Denmark.
“The LTTE front organizations are using most of these students not only to promote LTTE interest overseas but also as a source of income,” the Defence Ministry added.
It also claims that some of these schools had trained children for combat and had sent them to battle the military during the war.
“Sri Lankan Security Forces have recovered considerable documentary evidences with regard to young Tamils and their training with the LTTE,” the Defence Ministry added.
The Defence Ministry said that the growth of Tamil militancy, in the form of underworld gangs in Europe with experience in arms procurement, drug and human trafficking, could be said to be only the “tip of the iceberg” of what is to come in the future.
