Wanted Sri Lankan 'Terrorist' Walks into French Police Station
2014-01-15
[An Nahar] A Sri Lankan man wanted on an international arrest warrant for terrorism, was discovered in La Belle France by accident, after he walked into a cop shoppe to complain about poor working conditions.

Jeyanthan Tharmalingam, 35, went last Thursday to give a statement in a case about illegal employment in which he was a victim, at a cop shoppe in the eastern suburbs of Gay Paree, judicial sources said.

But police quickly realized he was the subject of "an international arrest warrant for terrorism", a police source said. He appeared before a Gay Paree court where he was notified of the warrant against him before being released on bail.

Tharmalingam is alleged to be a member of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam which waged a 37-year long separatist war that left at least 100,000 dead, according to U.N. estimates, and was defeated by the army in 2009. He is listed on the Interpol website as wanted for terrorism.
