Certain newspapers might want to make the government or the military look fools by claiming that an information about KP's arrest was leaked prematurely, thereby causing this chaos. We must be careful because there is politics involved in some of these reports. DefenceWire has no political affiliations. We are merely using our experience and information sources to inform Sri Lankans about what is really happening in their motherland.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-88198944294435501202007-09-16T08:52:00.000+05:302007-09-16T08:52:00.000+05:30We are not at liberty to reveal all the details. D...We are not at liberty to reveal all the details. DefenceWire will however confirm that a person formally known as Kumaran Pathmanathan, alias KP, who is the head of LTTE arms procurement is now in Thai custody. There hasn't been a 'KP' in years. That identity has since changed many-times over. The Thai government is trying to avoid a huge controversy. They officially rejected the Indians' inquiry about KP's arrest. Remember, India is the only country that has been instrumental in the issue of an international arrest warrant for KP. If Thais say they have him and that he was arrested under that warrant, they are bound by international law to turn him in. But if the Thais overlook the Indians and hand him over to the Lankans in full publicity, it would cause a huge international diplomatic crisis. We cannot say more than this for now. DefenceWire will confirm again, the person formerly known as Kumaran Pathmanathan is in Thailand, under Thai police arrest.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-28247754343625354162007-09-16T08:17:00.000+05:302007-09-16T08:17:00.000+05:30Lanka told ‘No KP here’is this true?http://www.sun...Lanka told ‘No KP here’<BR/><BR/>is this true?<BR/><BR/>http://www.sundaytimes.lk/070916/News/news0001.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-47564944867645611082007-09-16T07:37:00.000+05:302007-09-16T07:37:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-87058372714375831452007-09-16T07:33:00.000+05:302007-09-16T07:33:00.000+05:30Yes.

When he was arrested by the Thais he was holding a Swiss Passport. He has also obtained citizenship in Thailand under a different identity. Does this answer the confusion? I am sorry we are unable to tell you all in this site.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-27959230973597276112007-09-16T07:26:00.000+05:302007-09-16T07:26:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-61310834069167603992007-09-16T06:20:00.000+05:302007-09-16T06:20:00.000+05:30http://defencewire.blogspot.com/2007/09/why-kps-ar...http://defencewire.blogspot.com/2007/09/why-kps-arrest-was-denied.html<BR/><BR/>Defencewire,<BR/><BR/>Earlier you in the above story said that KP was a Thai citizen..<BR/><BR/>Here you say the person arrested was a Swiss Passport holder ...<BR/><BR/>We are confussed and dumb founded...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
