PETALING JAYA: Attorney General Tommy Thomas has come under fire for allegedly usurping the powers of the Home Minister and the police by suggesting that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) did not pose a threat.
Lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla reminded Thomas that the LTTE was still regarded as a terrorist organisation in Malaysia, as its Sri Lankan leader Selvarasa Pathmanathan was arrested in Kota Damansara in August 2009, three months after the terrorist organisation surrendered in Sri Lanka.
