A federal jury in Baltimore has convicted a Singapore national of conspiring to provide weapons to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) operating in Sri Lanka, the US Justice Department said on October 18, reports Daily News. Balraj Naidu (48) was charged in a conspiracy to provide material support to the LTTE designated in 1997 by the US Department of State as a foreign terrorist organization. According to evidence presented at his trial, Naidu and four co-conspirators arranged to buy some 28 tons of US-made weapons and ammunition from an undercover business in Maryland. The LTTE representatives made a $250,000 down-payment on the $900,000 weapons deal with the bogus company in the summer of 2006, the Justice Department said. Naidu’s partners were arrested in September 2006, after inspecting the weapons that had been delivered to Guam and making another payment of $450,000 to the undercover business, the Justice Department said. Naidu was arrested after a further investigation, it said. US officials said the group also had tried to buy weapons from China, Thailand, North Korea, the Philippines and Indonesia for the LTTE to be used against Sri Lankan government forces. Naidu faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. The co-conspirators, Thirunavukarasu Varatharasa, 40, of Sri Lanka; Haji Subandi, 73, and retired Indonesian Marine Corps General Erick Wotulo, 62, both Indonesians; and Haniffa Bin Osman, 59, of Singapore, all pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 57 months, 37 months, 30 months and 37 months in prison, respectively. The US designation as a foreign terrorist organization barred the group from legally raising money or buying operational equipment in the US.

President Mahinda Rajapakse on October 19 said his Government would like consensus among all Tamil political parties for a political solution to the ethnic conflict, reported The Hindu. Talking to a delegation from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in Colombo, he said reconciliation needed a home grown solution and not one transported from elsewhere, even from Northern Ireland. “It must be based on our own experience,” he stressed. On the question of the provincial administration in the North, he said the priority would be local Government elections due early next year and they would be followed with election to the Northern Provincial Council. To another question on the progress of moves for devolution of power, Rajapakse told the delegates that whatever solution arrived at must be one that is acceptable to the people. “He was emphatic in stating that what the LTTE [Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam] wanted could not be given. But any reasonable aspect of devolution, for which all parties have consensual agreement, can be granted by Parliament,” he said. The President said he would encourage all parties to come to a settlement, and that Parliament must finally decide, as there was the need for a 2/3 majority for any Constitutional change,” a statement issued by the President's Office quoted him as saying. He also the people of the North need essentials like water, electricity, schools, health services and education, adding, “There was a yearning for development among the Tamil people, asserting that there could be no development without peace and vice versa”.

The British Prime Minister David Cameron said that there should be an independent investigation into what happened during the decisive phase of Sri Lanka's war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009. Cameron made this observation while responding to a query by the opposition Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP) Siobhain McDonagh on the assassination and civil rights abuses allegedly taking place in Sri Lanka. "We need to see an independent investigation of what happened. Everyone has read the papers and seen the TV footage, but we need an independent investigation to work out whether what she suggests is right," he said. However, he did not call for an international war crime tribunal as the opposition MP suggested.
