Canada lists LTTE as terrorist group

Toronto: Canada has labelled the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) as a terrorist group, making it illegal for anyone to support or participate in the activities of the Sri Lankan separatists.

The Tamil Tigers were formally listed as a terrorist group effective Saturday, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said in a statement on Monday.

"The decision to list the LTTE was long overdue. Our Government is clearly determined to take decisive steps to ensure the safety of Canadians against terrorism. It sends a signal to the [Tamil] community and right across the country that the Government would not tolerate terrorism or terrorist activities," the Minister said. — PTI
