Terror Group Busted In Plot To Rob New York ATMs :: Homeland Security NTARC News

How did a man with a fake passport and ties to terrorist organizations not only get a security job at Newark Liberty International Airport but also pass several background checks, including one performed by the FBI? That’s what authorities are now trying to determine.

Authorities say Sivapalasri Velayuthampillai, a Sri Lankan was arrested along with a half-dozen other men for looting ATM machines in Manhattan. He worked at the airport for a company called Gateway Security.

Authorities say the suspects are part of a global identity theft ring linked to the Tamil Tigers, a terrorist group. The group was apparently involved in a scheme to use stolen credit card numbers to steal $250,000 in New York and tens of millions from ATMs worldwide.
