Raj Rajaratnam was a leading donor of money to LTTE - KP says

October 23, 2009 11:16 am

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s arms procurer and later leader Kumar Pathmanadan under interrogation has revealed that US citizen Raj Rajaratnam who was arrested by the FBI had been a leading contributor of money to the terrorist group, Sri Lanka government sources said.

These contributions are intricately connected with the opposition politicians outside the LTTE but implementing a parallel political agenda with the terrorist group, the sources said. The LTTE also known as the Tamil Tigers with its fronts is a proscribed terrorist group in the United States.

Sources close to the government said these revelations about Raj Rajaratnam’s contributions to the terrorist group tally with some findings of United States investigations.

KP who was arrested in a Kulalumpur Hotel is now in the custody of the Sri Lanka government being interrogated about the elaborate LTTE connections about its leading donors, influential Western connections who were on its pay roll, earnings of the group on drug and gun running and its intricate business empire.

KP has revealed that Raj Rajaratnam who was nabbed by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) after listening to him by wire taps for criminal insider trading scams has given money lavishly for the terrorist group and its Western sympathizer individuals.

Now that the LTTE is annihilated, the donors, other major supporters and hidden plain clothed terrorists are falling like nine pins.

KP is squealing so much that the list he has given out is too very long. Rajaratnam's contribution to the LTTE will be revealed soon after the investigations are over. Rajaratnam's arrest will trigger a chain reaction. Now Sri Lanka will get confirmatory information from this swindler.

Could not resist the temptation of posting this.

He was also active politically. Data from the Center for Responsive Politics, a non-partisan group that tracks political contributions, shows that Mr. Rajaratnam donated $26,200 to the Democratic Party's fundraising arm in 2007. He also provided $4,600 in 2007 to the campaign of Hillary Clinton, now Secretary of State, and $4,600 in 2008 to the campaign of President Ba rack Obama [courtesy: The Wall Street Journal]
