Frontmen for the Tigers were trying to buy from undercover agents so-called "needles," or Russian-made SA-18 surface-to-air missiles, missile launchers, 500 AK-47s and unmanned aerial vehicles capable of jamming radio and radar frequencies, the FBI documents indicate. "This group was gearing up for something big," said security specialist Sunil Ram of Huntsville, Ont., who provides counter-terrorism training. "This equipment is enough to outfit a roving guerrilla army." The Tigers made repeated attempts to obtain truck-mounted missiles and other weapons to shoot down Israeli-made Kfir fighter jets, the FBI says. The Tigers allegedly agreed to pay agents more than $1 million for the missiles, AK-47s and for undercover cops to travel to Sri Lanka to provide training. The group were also apparently interested in obtaining anti-tank missiles, "fire finders" that track the location of enemy fire and U.S. and French-made surface-to-air missiles that can be used to attack ships. The group also allegedly wanted specialty night-vision goggles and a rocket launch system that can fire multiple surface-to-surface rockets, flight lessons and equipment to jam radio signals and communicate via satellite.
