A Singapore man, who was in a US prison for several years after trying to funnel arms to a Sri Lanka’s LTTE, has been ordered to deport by a top US Court, media reports said.

Accordingly, 51-year-old Balraj Naidu in 2010 was convicted in Baltimore of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and sentenced to nearly five years in prison, was deported and arrived in Singapore on Wednesday.

Prosecutors say Naidu tried to buy $900,000 in weapons from an undercover business in Maryland and he was part of a conspiracy to purchase weapons for the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka.
