July 26, 2010 Local News View Comments

Reports emanating from the international media point out that a vessel believed to be heading to the BC coast is likely to arrive in Canada as early as next week. Canadian and American authorities had announced that they were on alert for this ship.

International media reported that the “MV Sun Sea”, a Thai registered cargo ship belonged to the LTTE terrorists. It is reported that among the illegal migrants in the ship are 213 LTTE terrorists. Reports related to the vessel were published in the past few days. The vessel was believed to have been originally headed for Australia before changing the course on route. The vessel was spotted in the Gulf of Thailand by the Philippines Coast Guard in May and then was seen off the coat of Guatemala on the 17th of July.

Canadian Authorities should stop the vessel in International waters and send it back to where it originated, which I believe is Thailand or Tamil Nadu.
