Tamil migrant ordered deported over ties to terror group

As members of the Tamil Tigers’ sea division, their mission that day was to destroy a navy vessel delivering arms to a government-controlled area.
Shots were fired and the Tigers prevented the ship from completing its weapons run. But the navy vessel wasn’t the only thing to sustain damage as a result of the gunfight – so, too, did the refugee claim of one of the Tigers who later sailed to Canada. The Immigration and Refugee Board on Tuesday ordered the Tiger’s deportation, making him the first of the 492 migrants who arrived onboard the MV Sun Sea to be declared inadmissible to Canada.

Assamese separatists trained with Tamil Tigers

Two separatist guerrillas allegedly picked to spend some time training with the LTTE
On top of revelations that the United Liberation Front of Asom (Ulfa) bought arms from the Tamil Tigers, a former Ulfa leader says the Assamese separatist group also received military training from the Sri Lankan rebels.
Former Ulfa spokesman Sunil Nath said that a small Ulfa team from the northeast Indian border state went to Jaffna in Sri Lanka in the early 1990s when the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) controlled the northern peninsula.
"We got in touch with the LTTE through a Tamil Nadu politician," Sunil Nath told IANS in a telephone interview from Assam. "He [the politician] in turn contacted the LTTE."
According to Nath two separatist guerrillas were picked to spend some time training with the LTTE. They returned to India within a week. According to another former Ulfa militant, they came back ahead of time "because the LTTE training was too tough for us".
