Four Sri Lankan men have been arrested at Luton Airport, London, by British counter-terror police on suspicion of being members of a banned organisation, UK’s The Independent news agency reported.

The men, all Sri Lankan nationals, arrived on an international flight on Wednesday evening and were arrested the following day.

Scotland Yard has said they are currently being held in custody at a police station in Bedfordshire.

A spokesman said: “Police at the airport were made aware of the men the next day, Thursday 11 April, and subsequently stopped them under schedule seven of the Terrorism Act 2000.”

The Sri Lankans involved in collecting money for terrorist Organisations should be arrested and sent back to Sri Lanka to prosecution.

LTTE is not a terrorist organization. It was a freedom movement that wanted to liberate the Tamils from the clutches of Sinhalese tyrannical rule.

@beau. That's the big problem why it came to the conflict. You do not consider Tamils as Sri Lankans.
