| 2008-08-01 |
| Indian police have claimed a major breakthrough in unraveling the arms smuggling racket to Sri Lanka with the arrest in Chennai of Thambianna alias Daniel (46), the chief of LTTE procurement module and a member of the Sea Tigers. He landed in Rameswaram by a ferry from Northern Sri Lanka about a month back. Tamil Nadu police trailed him ever since he entered the state and that gave them a rich harvest of clues. Police trailed Daniel just to crack his contacts before arresting him; the Intelligence IG Jaffer Sait was quoted as telling reporters in Chennai. Daniel is on the wanted list for a long while in connection with smuggling of explosives, swimming and communication equipment among others, according to the police officials. 'Most of LTTE cadres arrested in Tamil Nadu have been working under Daniel's control and he was trying to smuggle petrol this time', said Sait, who added that Daniel is a member of the Sea Tigers, the naval wing of the LTTE. |
