By DPA, Sydney : Two Melbourne men were arrested Tuesday and charged with being members of and raising money for the banned Sri Lankan terrorist organisation Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
“I want to make it clear that these men weren’t involved in any possible attacks on Australia soil,” Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Frank Prendergast told reporters.
“The offences they have been charged with are activities which occurred in Australia supporting the LTTE in Sri Lanka,” he added.
The arrests came after dawn raids in Melbourne and Sydney.
