Canada-based LTTE operatives extradited to the US
December 28, 2012
Two Canada-based LTTE operatives have been extradited to the US on charges of conspiring to acquire arms and ammunition, besides warship design software which the rebel group planned to use against the Lankan military.
Piratheepan Nadarajah, 36 and Suresh Sriskandarajah, 32 were arraigned in a federal court in Brooklyn and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The two had been fighting extradition since 2006 when the US had first accused them of conspiring to support the LTTE.
