" The US says it will not put money for tsunami reconstruction into the P-TOMS (Post Tsunami Operational Management Structure) trust fund due to "legal restrictions." A statement from the US embassy on Friday said “because of legal restrictions, the US will not be contributing to the trust fund associated with the P-TOMS.

The statement did not specify what these legal restrictions were, but the LTTE is listed as a foreign terrorist organisation by the US.

However, the US says it supports the government’s P-TOMS mechanism and welcomes contributions to the fund from other donors.
