LTTE funded U.S. Congressman' s 2005 trip to Vanni in
Shri Lanka: A sequel to Asian Tribune report
Daya Gamage - US National Correspondent for Asian Tribune

Washington, D.C. 24 August (Asian Tribune.com) - United
States Congressman Danny Davis' trip to Shri Lanka from
March 30 to April 5, 2005, spending most of his time in
the regions of the Vanni and Kilinochchi Districts,
controlled by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, was
in fact funded by the Liberation Tigers, it was revealed
by federal authorities, according to an August 23
datelined report in Chicago Tribune.
The Democratic Congressman from Illinois says that he was
unaware that the Tamil Tigers paid for the trip and on
his required congressional disclosure form has reported
that the trip was paid for by a Hickory Hills, Illinois-
based Tamil cultural organization, the Federation of
Tamil Sangams of North America.
According to the Chicago Tribune report Davis had
believed that the trip was paid for by the Tamil
federation, which in accordance with congressional ethics
rules sent to him a written statement of travel expenses,
more than US $7,000 each for Davis and his aide, Daniel
Cantrell. Congressman Danny Davis said he knew that the
group was "associated" with the Tamil Tigers but did not
realize that the trip's costs were covered with the funds
controlled by the (Shri Lanka) rebel group.
Davis' seven day trip to Shri Lanka's Tamil Tiger
territory came under scrutiny this week following the
arrests of 11 supporters of the Tamil Tigers in New York
on charges of participating in a broad conspiracy to
support the terrorist group through money laundering,
arms procurement and bribery of U.S. officials, the
Chicago Tribune reports.
Asian Tribune on 15 April (2005) under the caption
"Tamils Want Peace With Dignity and Justice, says U.S.
Congressman who toured Shri Lanka" carried an exclusive
interview in which this Online Daily said that the trip
was organized by Tamil expatriates who have links to the
Tamil Tiger outfit.
This week, the Asian Tribune report became the catalyst
for one of the authors of the Chicago Tribune report Mike
Dorning to scrutinize Congressman Davis' exclusive visit
to Shri Lanka's Tiger territory.
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam or popularly known as
Tamil Tigers is a designated Foreign Terrorist
Organization in the United States since 1997. The Tigers
have been fighting the Government of Shri Lanka to win a
separate independent state for the Tamil minority (12.5%)
in this South Asian island-nation' s predominantly Tamil
north and east districts since mid eighties. They accuse
the government, which they say is largely controlled by
the ethnic majority Sinhalese (74%), of discriminating
against the Tamil minority which the government denies. A
Norwegian-brokered ceasefire was signed between the two
warring parties in 2002 but was mostly confined to the
paper as Shri Lanka's military stepped up its offensive
against Tiger positions in early this month. The Shri
Lanka government has repeatedly said that they were
prepared to sit with the Tamil Tigers for a dialogue and
that the government favors devolution of political and
administrative powers to the periphery.
Congressman Danny Davis told last year's Asian Tribune
interview that a group of Shri Lankan expatriates wanted
him to visit their country to examine how tsunami
disaster funds are being disbursed as a substantial
amount has been collected in his congressional district
to which he agreed.
The Asian Tribune, in an editorial comment, said in the
body of the April 15, 2005 interview with Davis that "it
was a strategic move on the part of the LTTE to get a
United States Congressman to tour the areas they hold for
a political lecture while completely blocking the
dissenting opinion reaching the American lawmaker."
The Congressman told this correspondent during the
interview that he was aware he was visiting only the LTTE
controlled areas in Shri Lanka. As to why he did not make
any effort to meet non-LTTE officials or Shri Lanka
Government officials, the Davis told Asian Tribune that
it was not on his agenda.
Chicago Tribune report links Danny Davis to some of the
activists of the Tamil Tigers who were taken into custody
by the United States authorities on Monday allegedly
conspiring to procure military hardware, surface-to-air
missiles, AK 47s, communication equipment and attempt to
bribe U.S. officials to remove LTTE from the State
Department Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list.
Chicago Tribune says that "Congressman Davis past
Saturday (19) talked in Chicago with a supporter of the
Tamil Tigers who was among 11 people arrested on charges
of conspiring to aid the rebel group through money
laundering, procurement of arms, including surface-to air
missiles and bribery of public officials."
"That Tamil Tiger supporter", says Chicago Tribune,
"Murugesu Vinayagamoorthy, was described in a federal
criminal complaint as a high-level operative who served
as an intermediary between the Tigers' leaders and
foreign backers."
Davis said he first met Vinayagamoorthy, a 57-year-old
London physician, at a Tamil cultural event in the
Chicago suburbs at which both of them gave speeches "a
few years ago." Vinayagamoorthy also participated in
several of the meetings that Davis held while visiting
Shri Lanka, the congressman said.
The criminal complaint against Vinayagamoorthy asserts
that he had "direct and frequent contact" with leaders of
the (Shri Lanka) rebel group and was "often dispatched"
to facilitate Tamil Tiger projects around the world.
The Chicago Tribune continued to report in its August 23
edition that "without mentioning Davis or his aide by
name, the complaint (before the U.S. District Court in
Brooklyn, New York) describes a series of transactions in
which Vinayagamoorthy and others charged in the case
allegedly laundered US $13,150 in Tamil Tiger funds at
the direction of a top guerilla leader to pay for travel
of "two individuals" to Tamil-controlled Shri Lanka."
"The two individuals were Davis and Cantrell, Law
enforcement officials said," the Chicago Tribune says.
Another person arrested in the case, Nachimuthu Socrates,
was listed as a director in 2004 of the Tamil cultural
organization, the Federation of Tamil Sangams of North
America, which Congressman Danny Davis listed in public
disclosure forms (to Congress required by law) as trip's
sponsor.
Davis told the Chicago Tribune that he always assumed
that the organization had a connection with the Tamil
Tigers.
Congressman Danny Davis' visit to Shri Lanka's Tamil
Tiger controlled areas prompted Asian Tribune to unleash
a scathing criticism of the Shri Lanka Embassy in
Washington in its analysis of 18 April (2005) captioned
"Shri Lanka's Foreign Public Diplomacy in U.S. in
Jeopardy."
In that analysis the Asian Tribune said "Asian Tribune in
its month-long monitoring found that Shri Lanka mission
has absolutely no idea of LTTE front organization
operations even much closer to its own location in the
eastern states of the United States.
"If the Tiger activities are on the downward trend,
according to (Shri Lanka deputy chief of mission in
Washington) Mr. Bandara's understanding, Asian Tribune is
at a loss to know a Tiger front organization, which the
Shri Lanka embassy has no interest to find out,
strategically organized Congressman Davis' tour to the
Tiger land. In fact, a senior State Department official
told this correspondent that the Tiger activists in
Chicago gave the United States Congressman the impression
that he was touring the tsunami disaster region in the
eastern Shri Lanka but was tricked to enter Vanni, the
Tiger stronghold."
Asian Tribune, in conclusion, said in that analysis "So,
this then is the plight of the Democratic Socialist
Republic of Shri Lanka, with a foreign office that does
not know what direction it is going and reducing its
Washington, D.C. sub office merely to a visa issuance
agency while intense lobbying is undertaken by front
organizations of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam."
It is reported that a location in Hickory Hills, Illinois
which has connections to the Federation of Tamil Sangams
of North America was searched on Sunday in connection
with the Tamil Tiger investigation.
As part of the investigation, F.B.I. agents searched the
Cumberland, Maryland offices of a charity. The court
papers filed at the U.S. District Court in New York
identified it as a suspected front for a Tamil Tigers
fund-raising organization.

This was the same FETNA which allied with Witzel and
assorted gang in the California textbook case. If the US
Hindus are smart they would urge the gov't to ban it or
atleast put it under their watch for terrorist supporting
activities, it's sweet revenge for what they did in
California.
