Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has snubbed Attorney-General Tommy Thomas' suggestion for the Home Ministry to review the list of gazetted terrorist organisations after discounting prosecution proceedings against 12 suspects linked to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam , a defunct separatist group in Sri Lanka."Based on the latest information from the authorities, I as the home minister feel there is a strong basis to retain the LTTE listing as a terrorist organisation.
Muhyiddin said it is the authorities' responsibility to take measures to curb the group's activities and ideology.
