Note that he has a sri lankan name. Since Sri Lanka is home to one of the 
most ferocious terrorist organisations (they had cornered the whole "suicide 
bombing" market until Al Qaeda came along, and they have tried to claim the

are special targets for the authorities. Perhaps this works like some spam 
filters.
