The Ministry  of Defence  had stated :" A recent recovery made by military intelligence  at Visvamadu  of some highly classified documents and diary notes  of 'Castro:' once head of LTTE 's intelligence wing  has provided information on terror outfits  . These have not  only helped to gain an in depth understanding of the    innermost mechanism of the LTTE terror machine  but also to identify the individuals involved in  the  illegal transactions consisting of   clandestine arms   procurement and  smuggling systems , shipping operations , human trafficking , financial fraud , terror outfits etc . The Daily Mirror (24.7.10) stated that according to the Military spokesman :   "It's a series of recoveries  in Visvamadu with one paving the way for the other" . The intelligence agencies unearthed  vital information about the remaining LTTE international terror activists  engaged in human trafficking,  arms smuggling and financial frauds  in East Asia, Western  Europe,  Canada and Africa" .

According Sutirtho Patranobis of the "Hindustan Times (24.7.10)  the searches found not only diaries but also "abandoned passports " among the other documents  in the Viswamadhu area not far from the final theater of operations in the North  of Sri Lanka.  It also  reported that  the LTTE international operatives  identified by the intelligence agencies were on the "verge  of arresting LTTE operatives as Narendran , a Tamil married  to a Russian operating in an European country  and were also on the track of two others , Bhavindran and Ganeshruban alias Rooban    who allegedly run "front offices in Indonesia  and that the Government is working to "dismantle three broad LTTE international groups -  the US group headed by V.

Meanwhile "The Hindu "(24.7.10) reported that according to the  Sri Lankan Defence Ministry "information gathered from documents in the possession of an LTTE operative  has helped intelligence agencies  zero in on a few key LTTE operatives abroad" and  "unless LTTE' s terror network was broken , there could be no end to terrorist activities in the country and in the South Asian region and a fresh effort had been launched to pin down  most wanted LTTE terrorists  and intelligence agencies  are optimistic  of cooperation by the Governments  of the countries  in which the former suspects are in self- exile".  Quoting  the Ministry of Defence, "The Hindu" added:  "Officials are moving ahead  with more than just scrutiny on Sivarasa Pirundaban alias  Achchcudan alias Suresh, Bahitharan alias Bhavi , Narendran  Rathnasbhapathi alias Naren, Ganeshruban alias Ruban and Ponnaiah Anandarajah alias Aiyya alias Rajah and a few more LTTE activists  who are connected to arms procurement , and shipping while posing as businessmen".
