An Indian was among three persons who have been removed from Sri Lanka's designated terrorist list, containing names of those allegedly supporting LTTE's attempts of resurgence.

Military Spokesman Brigadier Ruwan Wanighasuriya told Indian media that the Minister of External Affairs has the authority to delist any person in the list after the initial investigations.

Ruwan Wanihasuriya said that the three personnel were removed from the designated terrorist list on August 6.

"The removal from the list came after the necessary clarifications provided by them," Wanigasuriya said.

The designated list was announced by the sri Lankan government on March.

Around 32 Indian residents were among the 424 individuals from 15 organizations included in the March-designated terrorist list.

Sri Lankans have been prohibited from making contact with the designated organizations and individuals as they allegedly supported LTTE's attempt for resurgence.

People from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Thailand, UK and Sri Lanka are also included in the designated terrorist list.

The government claimed those included in the designated list were funding the LTTE's effort to revive their campaign inside Sri Lanka. The nearly three decade-long military campaign against the LTTE ended on May 18, 2009. (with inputs from DNA)
