Tiger confession gives DMK the blushes
2,
Jan. 28.
A terror plot in Tamil Nadu was thwarted with the arrest of Thambithurai Parameswaran, a member of the LTTE's intelligence wing, from Madipakkam two weeks ago. He was in Chennai to organise supplies.
Interrogations, however, revealed he had another agenda that could come as a major embarrassment for the DMK government. Parameswaran was collecting information on the movements of Varadaraja Perumal, a former EPRLF chief - Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front is a political party in Sri Lanka - and a key ally of the IPKF, who is lodged at a secret location in Orissa under Army supervision.
