Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

S E C R E T COLOMBO 000532 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: DECL: 03/25/2014 TAGS: PTER, EFIN, ETTC, ECON, PREL SUBJECT: TERRORIST FINANCING: COLOMBO IN-HOUSE VIEWS ON AL HARAMAIN REF: STATE 62199 Classified By: DCM James F. Entwistle. Reasons 1.5 b, d, and e. (S) Post has no knowledge of any Al Haramain branches in either Sri Lanka or Maldives. Further, we are unaware of any Al Haramain financing activities among Muslim groups in either country. Both Sri Lanka and Maldives are vigilant against Islamic extremist elements. The GORM in particular takes a very firm, negative line against any potentially disruptive fundamentalist Islamic activities. We do not believe designation of Al Haramain under UN 1267 would pose any concern to either the GSL or GORM. LUNSTEAD
