(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette) German authorities say they have arrested a suspected member of the LTTE alleged to have been involved in the 2005 assassination of Sri Lanka's then Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar, the Associated Press reported.
Federal prosecutors said Thursday that police arrested 39-year-old Navanithan G. in southwestern Germany Wednesday and searched his home.
The man, whose surname wasn't released because of Germany privacy laws, is accused of membership in a foreign terrorist organization, murder and attempted murder.
