Times of India reports that Thambi Anna alias Thambi Ilamkathir alias Daniel, a key Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) procurement agent who was arrested in Chennai by the Tamil Nadu Police on July 30, had come to recruit more suppliers for his network. According to police sources, Thambi Anna was a close associate of Soosai, the head of Sea Tigers (sea wing of the LTTE). Thambi Anna was appointed chief of a procurement module in 2006 by Soosai. He has been coordinating all major smuggling operations between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka since then, an unnamed senior police official said. He had so far managed to conduct the LTTE operations without ever visiting Tamil Nadu and was probably arrested on his first visit to the State. We are intercepting their consignments almost every day. This has significantly reduced the LTTE s supplies. As they can t afford to let this situation continue, there may have been pressure on him to boost the supply mechanism, another unnamed official said. In a sign of their desperation, a group of suspected LTTE men intercepted by the police even asked the cops to shoot them, but to allow the consignment to go. That shows how desperate they are to get things across the sea, the official said.
