MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - Police on Tuesday arrested two men accused of raising money for Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels on the pretext of collecting donations for victims of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 32, and Sivarajah Yathavan, 36, were arrested in raids in the southern city of Melbourne after a two-year police investigation, authorities said.
They were charged with belonging to, financing and otherwise supporting a terrorist organization and face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
