According to an Associated Press report today( May
11), Federal prosecutors in New York City has stated that a man who was the top
U.S. representative of outlawed Sri Lankan terrorist group, Liberation Tigers of
Tamil Eelam (LTTE), deserves a stiff prison sentence.
Karunakaran Kandasamy, Tamil, and a hardcore terror sympathizer
faces a maximum 20-year term at sentencing on Friday, AP reported.
The 55-year-old Kandasamy was hit with terror financing charges
nearly six years ago. He was among several Sri Lankan bogus asylum seekers
rounded up in the mid-2000s and accused of illegally raising money for the Tamil
Tigers.
The United States and other Western countries had labeled the
Tamil Tigers a terrorist organization before the rebels were defeated in 2009.
