INGO kingpin with Italian passport joins LTTE as fighter

[slguy]

The Kilinochchi Project Manager of an INGO known as Zoa has joined the LTTE to fight the Sri Lanka Army. He, an Italian passport holder, has informed the Colombo-based head of Zoa, in writing, of his decision to fight for the cornered Tigers.

The Ministry of Defence told The Island yesterday that Zoa had informed it of the situation and forwarded a copy of the letter from its Project Manager, the latest LTTE recruit. Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, asked for comment, said he was aware that a Zoa official had joined the LTTE.

According to sources, Zoa had tried repeatedly to persuade its Project Manager to leave Kilinochchi but in vain.

Zoa is a key member of the UN-led Consortium of Humanitarian Agencies (CHA), which has been active in the Eastern Province and in the Jaffna Peninsula.

Government sources said it was evident that the Zoa manager had been working for the LTTE throughout his deployment in Kilinochchi during the past several years.

Sources said that the government would have to review the process of allowing international humanitarian workers to enter the country as there was believed that at least some of them were working for the LTTE.

The UN Colombo is expected to explain its position on the Zoa Project Manager shortly, as Zoa is a prominent CHA member.

Zoa is the second INGO found to be directly involved with the LTTE. The first one was the Norwegian People's Aid, which has recently moved out of Kilinochchi leaving behind about 40 vehicles, including earth moving machines.

What do you think about this article?

I feel this is the person who was the pilot of the tiger plane which was gunned down by SL air force few weeks back and as they cannot give a good reason for his absence. so, they have fabricated this story. it was presumed that tiger had foreign pilots for their planes.

dude the story dat he joined da LTTE mite be true but how sure r u dat he was in da plane.

and yes although da defence ministry and rupavahini and ITN go on saying dat they brought a plane down y havnt they released pics of it yet to the media?? is dat story a lie?

anika i personally think dat INGO ppl shud reduce da amount of ppl they bring from their own countries into SL. when there is enough ppl in SL who can do da same job they bring ppl frm outside. this shud be stopped!

I say that the plane was surely gunned down and that person got killed in that incident, but the NGO which he attached to wanted to conceal the truth that he was the pilot and his men were working for LTTE.

But after government asked all NGO to vacate Wanni, they cannot bring him to government held areas because he got killed and this is the reason they give to conceal the truth. LTTE also wants to hide that they have foreign pilots.
