Norway Thankfully Is Not Entirely Pro LTTE! There are Norwegians Who Think Differently, Notwithstanding Some USA Bias !

July 30th 2006

By a strange turnaround of events almost like a twist of fate The nation of Norway,which fronted shamelessly and at times blatantly for the LTTE during their involvement as "Peace Monitors" and covered all their surreptitious activities and even provided them with the wherewithal and equipment to set up a satellite broadcasting system and much much more towards propagating their illegal terrorist activities has also in very recent times produced a source conducive towards exposing the LTTE inasmuch as the present Administration in Norway too which is linked to this item.The organization by name of Norwegians Against Terrorism(NAT) a counter terrorism group based in Norway has been dedicated to exposing the evils of the LTTE and what they really stand for as presented in a comprehensive report forwarded to the United States Vice President Dick Cheyney and further indication of how the LTTE will eventually come apart at the seams.

This report unequivocally portrays the stark reality that Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tiger terrorism is not confined to Sri Lanka alone but linked to other terrorist movements that are part of the Global Terrorist Network which the United States has pledged to combat based on President George W Bush's avowal to this effect after 9/11 that no single terrorist organization will be permitted to exist and that the US led war against Global Terrorism will continue until it is completely eradicated. While this presentation by NAT is recent, the concept is nothing new as there have been many sources of information related to LTTE links with Global terrorism which have often highlighted this theme almost continuously( reports in LankaWeb included) but a point of greater interest and importance now that the United States has been officially addressed on this issue which perhaps might be an eyeopener which was a long time coming!
This augurs well for the credibilities of the Sri Lankan Government, the Nation's Armed Forces and the Administrative Leadership of Mahinda Rajapaksha which has had to face much criticism from all the wrong international sources in their pursuit of the LTTE terrorists while outlining the felt need towards confronting them as an illegal and proscribed bunch of terrorists who for all this while have had safe haven and safe passge within Sri Lanka.That is until very recently when the world began take stock of the efforts of groups such as the one which has presented this all important dossier on the LTTE to the Vice President Dick Cheyney, Norway's Anti Terrorist Watchdog (NAT) that the LTTE were no angels of mercy but a band of ruthless criminals and murderers whose only accomplishment was to influence the rest of the criminals of similar ilk scatterd around the globe and perhaps at long last this would put a lid on oll those who continued to pontificate about the LTTE as freedom fighters with a cause when they have none whatsoever and hopefully influence them to be disillussioned about the merits of the LTTE and do an about turn in their direction and condemn them for their criminalities which of course is wishful thinking!

This report also alerts the international community, that they cannot turn a blind eye to the realities of LTTE criminalities which some of the co-chairs who are monitoring the progress of peace building in this war-torn South Asian nation seem to disregard based on some of the rhetoric that wafts out of their camps with a bi-partisan pro LTTE bias and a direct result of the lies and innuendo some of the LTTE mouthpieces have been propagating ably assisted by the Tamil Diaspora which continues to fund and provide for their ungainly objectives.It has now become a reality etched in stone thanks to Organizations such as NAT that the LTTE is not a lone actor in the game of terrorism but works in conjunction with practically every other terrorist movement which has been targeted in the ‘Global War on Terrorism.’

The Norwegian anti terrorist organization NAT under review here also classified as a Non Governmental Organization NGO through its various links and involvements in Sri Lanka and having researched the criminalities of the LTTE very thoroughly has sent a strong reminder to Vice President Dick Cheyney and the US Administration in general through this report that, about Norway, which the report highlights as the ‘sponsor of Tamil Tiger terrorism’ for all the time Norway was involved in the Sri Lankan Peace Process there was no digressing from it as a mere speculation and that the US Government's assistant secretary for South Asia in the Department of State, Mr. Richard Boucher was acting along the lines of taking certain measures to facilitate the Tamil Tigers to accomplish their demands, which the NAT emphasizes has nothing to do with the aspirations of the vast majority of ethnic minority Tamil in Sri Lanka and a huge aberration and a Faux Pas by the US Administration's representative as interpreted by many analysts.

Lately the LTTE terrorism in Sri Lanka has continued albeit contained and confronted effectively by the Sri Lankan Armed Forces. The LTTE terror campaigns however remain within Sri Lanka where every attempt is being made by them to disrupt the normal order of life in Sri Lanka and only the vigilance and alertness of the general populace has in recent times prevented huge catastrophies following terror attacks. Synonymously on the military front The Sri Lankan Government Forces have have won resounding victories over the terrorists and are on the run in total disarray contrary to the many false reports which come from pro LTTE news sources where somewhat authoritatively and as reported by the Norwegians Against Terrorism (NAT) say in deference to their cooked up reports that quote" Norway and the US Deputy foreign secretary Mr. Richard Boucher are giving the LTTE terrorist hope. Their demands of disarming another group of Tamil dissidents are part of their agenda.These demand could result in another LTTE killing spree of Tamil dissidents. The Co-chairs threats of removing foreign aid to Sri Lanka are another step to get Sri Lanka to cave in to the LTTE demands”. With that serious observation this Norwegian NGO, which is currently focusing on LTTE terrorism in Sri Lanka, its worldwide network and its links to other terrorist movements, endeavors to erase the misconception that LTTE attrocities are confined to Sri Lanka alone and has nothing to do with other terrorist networks and therefore the LTTE are not even a small cog in the wheel of global terrorism in this manner as falsely propagated by proactive LTTE sources. Quoting further it has been said by NAT that" The LTTE is the worst terrorist organization known to mankind. They intentionally target civilians. They are not only a threat to Sri Lanka but they are a Global threat. Their international murders and cooperation with other terrorist organizations make the LTTE existence a threat to people living in countries all over the world. This fact has been gravely under estimated.LTTE has not only been involved in training and supplying other terrorist groups but the LTTE success has been an inspiration. In Thailand we see the Patani terrorist is using the same strategies and tactics as the LTTE." end quote

On this basis it is no assumption that the LTTE 's interaction with other terrorist is a definite part of their repertoire, one which inspires them falsely and lends confidence to other terror organizations around the world and an opinion shared by many experts on International Terrorism including Sri Lanka's own Dr. Rohan Guneratne. Lately there have been very alarming speculations that extended beyond convetional weaponry as the LTTE have been known for their innovative modus operandi often through desperations which stop at nothing if permitted any leeway!

In addition to passing on their tactical manouverings and operational procedures to various terrorist organizations around the world.The LTTE have been detected shipping arms to several Al-Qaeda front organizations in various countries plagued with the scourge of terrorism. ranging from terrorist groups in South East Asia to the Middle East and all these organizations are known to have close links to Al-Qaeda.All the LTTE actions including identity theft, manufacturing of false passports, counterfeiting currency, money laundering and extortion are mere drops in the ocean to what their greater capabilities might turn out to be if permitted any further Carte Blanche to exist as the consequences to the world could be far worse than these anomalies and could entail chemical warfare, targetting of strategic locations through aerial capability of great sophistication, the world has already seen the terrors of 9/11 and the terrorist attacks which preceded that globally and if the LTTE are not eliminatede in their entirety when the opportunity exists as it does at the present time the resulting mayhem and carnage could possibly be unthinkable!

Aptly quoting again, from the NAT Report to the US Administration it has to be emphasized that" the USA must put strong pressure on Norway and other nations which fund terrorist organizations or help regimes perceived as state sponsors of terrorism. The war on terrorism is not stronger than its weakest link. Norway is providing a safe haven to terrorist and is allowing them to plot acts of terrorism, justify terrorism and fundraise for terrorism. The USA must be in the forefront in the war against terror. In order to get a strong front and support for the war on terrorism the dual standards the war on terror there is today must be abandoned. There must be the same standard for all, regardless of the victim’s race, nationality, religion or wealth”. end quote where the policies and idealogies of the Rajapaksha Administration appear to be well represented in this very pragmatic quote and the President no stranger to this kind of pragmatism.

As to how the Vice President Cheyney is going to view all of the items in the Norwegian Report and offset it against US State Department's Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia Mr. Richard Boucher will be entirely another matter if the US Government adheres to the professed policies of the Bush Administration and ascertain the real implications of Mr.Boucher's mentality suggesting pro LTTE bias which certainly needs to be viewed at through a looking glass!
