Interpol wanted terrorist KP seeks Norway assistance, mislead UN

LTTE's in charge of cross border terrorist activities Kumaran Padmandan [KP] is reportedly seeking assistance of the Norwegian government to meet Sir John Holms, Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator of the United Nations.

KP is known to be the LTTE's key link to the global terrorist network through which the outfit has been able to acquire arms, ammo and the technology to sustain its brutal terrorist campaign against Sri Lankan citizens. Also, he is the chief of the outfit's illegal enterprises, including drug trafficking, human smuggling, financial frauds, gunrunning, etc. The Jane's Defence Review recently called the LTTE to be the world's most sophisticated terrorist outfit with its own naval and air assets. The annual income of the terrorist outfit is known to be about US dollars 200-300 million.

Meanwhile, defence intelligence sources recently revealed that LTTE is planning to appoint this Interpol wanted terrorist as the outfit's chief negotiator and the international spokesperson with a disguised identity. According to the sources, KP's initial plan was to operate under the name Selvarajan Pathmanadan and to continue his illegal activities using his new designation as a cover.

Defence observers view, KP's attempt to meet the UN official is to win sympathy towards the terrorist outfit which is now facing an inevitable military defeat in Sri Lanka. The LTTE will do its best to mislead the UN and the International Community with its trite propaganda ploys such as genocide, human rights violations, etc and want the UN to throw a life line for the terrorist outfit, the observers further said.
