Norway gave money to the LTTE: karuna
It was April 2004. LTTE's renegade leader Karuna
retreated after clashes with Prabhakaran. It happened two days after
Karuna gave his final face-to-face interview to this writer who was

"The Island" in May 2002 and subsequently in India's "Frontline"
magazine. Many violent incidents have taken place since then and we
questioned if Karuna was also adopting Prabhakaran's tactics and who
would survive. It seems that they both have survived rightly or

Prabhakaran and LTTE's most dreaded 'colonel' Karuna, now the most
wanted man of the LTTE speaks to the Daily News face-to-face for the
first time in his Eastern stronghold.
