For over 25 years, the LTTE waged a violent secessionist campaign in Sri Lanka that led to it being designated a terrorist organization by 32 countries.<br/><br/> Prabhakaran was wanted by Interpol for terrorism, murder, organized crime and terrorism conspiracy. He also had arrest warrants against him in Sri Lanka and India. By 2001, the Tamil Tigers controlled large swaths of land in the north and east of the country, running a mini-state with Prabhakaran ruling as its unquestioned leader.
