The Sri Lankan government is to soon indict the arrested new leader of the Tamil Tiger rebels, KP alias Kumaran Pathmanathan, a minister said on Friday. Keheliya Rambukwella, minister of Foreign Employment and the government's defense spokesman told reporters here that 'We will frame charges and deal with him according to the law'. The Sri Lankan government said Thursday night that Pathmanathan had been arrested on a foreign land, believed to be Malaysia. Rambukwella said Pathmanathan is being interrogated and his statements should provide the government with vital information on the terrorist organization's international fund-raising and its arms purchases around the world. KP was known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels' international arms buying agent and served as its Head of international relations.. With the killing of the LTTE's leader Velupillai Prabakaran in May, KP had declared him Prabakaran's successor. 'With KP's arrest the Tamil diaspora now have the opportunity work with the government in the best interests of the country', Rambukwella stressed. In June, the crushed rebel outfit headed by KP announced a transnational government in exile to carry out the LTTE's struggle for a separate homeland for the minority Tamil community. The 54-year-old KP was wanted by Interpol and the Indian government for the 1991 assassination of the former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Rambukwella said that KP's arrest was facilitated by friends of Sri Lanka in 'the region' and it was a joint operation to nab him without disclosing the identity of the country. Sri Lanka has proved that it would leave no room for the LTTE to ever raise its head again, Rambukwella said.
