They are terroritsts, but their aim isn't world domination.

yup, nothing to see here...;)
"...the group was trying to purchase ten shoulder-fired surface to air missiles that can be used to bring down airplanes, and at least 500 A-K 47 assault weapons. According to Wiser, the terror group also asked for other sophisticated devises used in military operations."

I believe that the Tamil Tigers are Muslim.

Some are, some aren't. They do, however, use suicide terror tactics. I wonder if Hillary knows they set up shop in her state.

Nope. They're overwhelmingly Hindu. Sri Lanka has a fairly small Muslim population and they often are attacked by the Tamil Tigers.

That's for the info. Why do you think they would come to NY to purchase weapons?

IIRC, the Tamil Tigers are fighting in Sri Lanka / India and thereabouts.
Maybe they're deciding since so many people from that area have come over here on H-1B visas, they're going to take the fight directly to the enemy ;-)
Full Disclosure: Yes, I had a boss from Sri Lanka once upon a time.
Cheers!
To: freeperfromnj
Thomas Sowell, in his Affirmative Action Around The World: An Empirical Study, looks in part at the role affirmative action (in Sri Lanka) played in the rise of the Tigers. Well worth picking up for a little background on this, besides being a devastating indictment of AA in general.
To: grey_whiskers
Tamil Tigers have become a problem finally recognized in Canada. They seem to have quite a few. I think they were just recently put on their Terrorist List. (but I'd have to double check that)

Well How about Air India flying out of JFK or Logan?
I'll bet Logan, favorite of terrorists all over the world.

This is at least the second terror raid in the Buffalo area since 9/11. I find it hard to believe that Buffalo's proximity to the porous Canadian border is a coincidence.

I don't know. The IRA didn't really exist either.....
