P.S. Suryanarayana

Two Melbourne residents held for alleged fund-raising

SINGAPORE: Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer on Wednesday acknowledged that "some" amounts were being raised in his country to finance the operations of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

Mr. Downer was commenting on the issue in the context of Tuesday's arrest of two Melbourne residents for their alleged fund-raising activities on behalf of the LTTE. The two accused were later produced in court.

The Minister characterised the amounts that were suspected to have been transferred to the LTTE from Australia, over some time, as "small" quantities.
