World Tamil Movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

World Tamil Movement (WTM) is a organization that Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigates on suspicion of terrorist-funding activity in Montreal and Toronto.[1] The WTM is a non-profit organization run by Canadians of ethnic Tamil heritage, but the group's Quebec and Ontario branches are currently under police investigation for allegedly raising money for Sri Lanka's Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam rebels. The Tigers are a banned terrorist group in Canada due to their tactics, which include suicide bombings.[2]
