 * Delete the only semi-reliable reference asserts that Thanabalasingam established the Tamil New Tigers, however most other references (including the article on the TNT) state the TNT was founded by Velupillai Prabhakaran. Even if Thanabalasingam did establish the TNT that doesn't necessarily make him notable. As all the information indicates that it was Prabhakaran's leadership that made the TNT such a notable organisation (as the precusor to the LTTE). Other sources I've found indicate that he was a petty or minor criminal which predates his insurgent activities. Dan arndt (talk) 10:02, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
