Norwegian support terrorism

01)It is possible to trace fundraising and bank accounts to the LTTE organisations the last 20 years. Bank accounts in Den norske Creditbank, Bergenbank and Sparebanken Midt-Norge was found before the 1990. Aftenposten, a major Norwegian newspaper, revealed in an article in 2001 that Norwegian authorities have been allowing transfer of funds to the Tamil Tigers, Hamas, ETA and other person organisations. "Those missing were apparently overlooked on the UN list, and Norwegian authorities have been reluctant to add them for fear of unfairly exposing innocent bank customers, and risking damage claims." Even in 2004 there are no restrictions of transfers of funds to the LTTE from Norway. According to LTTE they have six offices in Norway.

The LTTE is hiding under more legitimate organisation like the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO) and The Tamil Coordinating Committee (TCC). Fifty persons works in the TCC network in Norway. The LTTE also has a significant Norwegian support structure for fundraising and propaganda activities. LTTE fundraising in Norway is estimated that more than 5 million US dollars. The increasing Tamil community (10.000 ++) in Norway is paying fees to LTTE and LTTE is involved in business activities in Norway. The LTTE propaganda activities have been successful in Norway. It is quite obvious the LTTE have been able to sell "their story" to the Norwegians and received the support of the Norwegian government and military. With more than 10.000 Tamils in Norway, LTTE has become a political important partner for Norwegian political parties. LTTE front organisations in Norway have received millions of Norwegian Kroner from the Norwegian Government and Municipalities, allegedly to support their cultural and integration activities.


02)Norway is supporting the person group LTTE in the conflict in Sri Lanka. Norway has supported LTTE financially, with equipment and made every effort to make this person organisation a "legitimate" negotiation partner.
Norway has participated in smuggling of high-tech communication equipment to the person organisation. Norwegian generals have also given sensitive information to the LTTE person leaders. General Trygve Tellefsen leaked information about the Navy's pursuit of a LTTE arms smuggling ship to the Tamil rebel group allowing them to escape. After the incident President Chandrika Kumaratunga wrote to the Norwegian Prime Minister, Kjell Magne Bondevik to remove the Head of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission, Retired Major General Trygve Tellefsen. The Norwegian generals Trygve Tellefsen and Trond Furuhovde have been involved in the conflict in Sri Lanka and favoured the LTTE.

Norway has also invited the Tamil tigers to Norwegian military camps to see Norwegian military demonstrate their skills and equipment. Telephone wiretaps has revealed the close cooperation between the Norway and the LTTE person leaders. Wiretap 1. Norwegian ambbuttador Jon Westborg and Duleep from the person organisation LTTE. In this wiretap the ambbuttador gives information about the communication equipment and inform that the Norwegian's will pay for the added costs. The reveals a discussion with the Norwegian Ambbuttador who speaks to Duleep of LTTE about the transmission equipment that has been "dealt with and explained and arranged with Mr. Bradman Weerakoon." A total of six tons of electronic equipment was delivered to the LTTE in 2002, including V-Sat equipment used in satellite communications. The conversation also revolves around a document that has been signed by Tamilchelvam and another is requested to be mailed to the ambbuttador's residence and not to the embbutty. The equipment received from Norway is according to Indian intelligence sources contacted by the Asiantribune is used actively in the terror against their political opposition:http://www.asiantribune.com-shownews.php/?id=10493 In a meeting with the WAPS organisation the 23rd August Erik Solheim could not confirm that the "peace process" gift from Norway now is used for these purposes. He said " I am not an electronic expert, so I do not know".

The Norwegian consbreastutional committee should immediately start an investigation into this matter. If the Indian report is found correct, Norway should do as Libya, admit responsibility and pay the victims compensation. Wiretap 2. Norwegian general Trond Furuhovde and LTTE political leader Puleedevan. General Trond Furuhovde Sensitive information is given to the person leader and the Norwegian general are coaching the person leader to give the blame on the latest person action to a "third party" with stolen uniforms! The general also states, "I'm using all their resources to calm down the Sinhalese part of the population" and requests Puleedevan to order his people to do the same, whereupon Prabhakaran agrees, but states that the "Tamil people are always on the receiving end." The general advises Puleedevan to "protect himself."

At the end of the conversation, Puleedevan requests the Norwegian to "please be involved continuously in this..." and he is thereby buttured. Col. Karuna is also mentioned during the conversation. Both wiretaps are made in the autumn 2002. After these wiretaps nobody can be in doubt of the illegal Norwegian support of the LTTE persons. It's a tragedy that Norway is giving one of the worst person organisations legitimacy as a negotiation partner.
