[Oslo the criminal capital of Tamil Tigers
Sat, 2007-08-18 15:14 Oslo, 18 August, (Asiantribune.com): Yesterday at about 15:30 hrs the Norwegian police stormed an apartment in Oslo and arrested a suspect in the LTTE Oslo shooting spree. Another suspect was arrested close to the Oslo Police headquarters. Both will be charged for participating in the shootout and murder. At 13.00 one Tamil was arrested at the ?Grønland? area in Oslo. The second Tamil was arrested at 15.30 it the North part of Oslo. The head of the police investigation team, Finn Abrahamsen confirms this has been a dispute between two rival factions in the Tamil Diaspora. In addition one of the hospitalized victims will be charged for participating in murder. Police estimate that twenty persons participated in the clashes. So far only three have been charged for the crime. A total of three suspects are currently in the police custody. There is no information from the Police what role the three arrested has had in the shooting spree. Several more suspects are wanted by the police. In the meantime, one of the victims of Tamil Tiger violence in Oslo who was on a life support machine died when the machine was switched off on Thursday evening. Doctors concluded that there was no hope of him recovering. This latest violent act of the Tamil Tigers brought to light the unreported violence that has been ignored by the Norwegian government, despite Tamils in Norway complaining to the authorities about the strong arm tactics of the Tamil Tigers. The pro-LTTE Norwegian politicians in power, including Erik Solheim, the chief negotiator, turned a blind eye to the Tamil Tiger violence that has plagued Norway from the eighties. One of the first victims of Tamil Tiger violence was Kethesh Loganathan, the peace activist. He was attacked with chairs and wooden sticks by the Tamil Tiger thugs when he was attending a course at the Peace Research Institute in Oslo. He narrowly escaped death. He was hospitalized with heavy head injuries. The Tamil Tigers never gave up the chase. Ultimately they got him in Colombo and shot him dead in his house. Tamils in Norway had complained to the authorities that not only those living in Norway but even their relatives in Sri Lanka, particularly the Vanni, are threatened by the Tamil Tigers in Norway. All complaints have fallen in deaf ears. The Labour Party of Norway and the Socialist left of Erik Solheim have been wooing Tamil votes and ignoring these criminal activities. Erik Solheim and the Norwegian diplomats have been going round the world attacking the Sri Lankan government for not protecting the Tamils. But the increasing criminal activities going on in Norway has been condoned by the Norwegian government and politicians. Tamils have been most insecure in Norway because the Norwegian government has failed to act on complaints made against the Tamil Tiger agents. Norwegian media too has blacked out these activities until recently when the Tamil Tiger violence reached intolerable levels. Aftenposten, a Norwegian daily, has highlighted the list of criminal activities ranging from drug trafficking to credit card frauds. Political observers state that Norway is the criminal capital of the Tamil Tigers who have enjoyed impunity so far, all because they are treated with kid gloves. Norway?s most favoured treatment given to the agents of Tamil Tigers, including giving them nominations as candidates from their parties, has not benefited Norway either locally or raised its image as a respected peace-broker abroad. The Tamil Tiger agents have exploited the generosity of the Norwegians and stabbed them in the back both in Norway and elsewhere. Erik Solheim is seen as one of the victims of the crafty machinations of the Tamil Tigers who have nothing to show for all the benefits he showered on Anton Balasingham,, the chief Tiger spokesperson, who was his close buddy. Political observers now argue that Norway has a case to answer for letting the Tamil Tigers running amok in Oslo and elsewhere in Europe because Norway has been in the forefront of protecting the Tamil Tigers in every fora, including the peace negotiations. One commentator said that Norway is now reaping what it sowed. - Asian Tribune - ] |
