Of all the countries mentioned above, the role played by the US is particularly noteworthy, for its consistency and dogged determination to eradicate the influence of FTOs in the U.S. As mentioned earlier, in November 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department listed the TRO as an LTTE front organization, which had functioned until then, as a charity organization, harvesting rich dividends from unsuspecting US citizens. This action, resulting from years of investigations into the activities of TRO, was not an isolated incident. As also mentioned earlier, the FBI carried out a sting operation in August 2006, netting in nearly a dozen of Tiger agents in New York, who unsuccessfully attempted to buy surface-to-air missiles and other military hardware, and to bribe officers of the Department of State with a million dollar enticement, to remove the FTO status of the Tigers. A similar operation carried out once more by law enforcement authorities, resulted in the arrests of several South-East Asians and a Sri Lankan in Baltimore, Guam etc. Thereafter, in April 2007, the top Tiger operative in New York, Karunakaran Kandasamy was arrested, and the complaint filed before the US District Court in Brooklyn stated that Karunakaran had covertly operated within the United States, drawing on America s financial resources and technological advances to further its war of terror in Sri Lanka and elsewhere. These actions, in perspective, indicate that, even though the focus of the US has always been dominated and driven by operatives of Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorist outfits, non-Islamic foreign terrorist organizations too have not escaped the scrutiny of the US. Several months ago, in January 2008, the FBI described the LTTE as being among the most dangerous and deadly extremists in the world, more dangerous than al Qaeda or Hezbollah or even Hamas, having invented the suicide vest and the suicide jacket.
