But they later fell out, and Fonseka quit his post. They  contested a bitter election last month for the presidency, won by the  incumbent, Rajapaksa.Sri Lanka's Sunday Times newspaper reported  that authorities plan to try Fonseka at a military court over his  alleged plan to assassinate Rajapaksa. It quoted unnamed investigators  as saying that plot went back to his time as the army commander.But  military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said there are no plans by  the military to arrest Fonseka.Fonseka's lawyer Shiral Laktilaka  also said that he is unaware of the reported plan. He said Fonseka can't  be summoned before a military court as he is not a serving officer.He  said authorities have so far arrested 54 retired army officers and  soldiers who supported Fonseka."This is a politically motivated  effort," he said.Since the Jan. 26 election, security forces have  attempted to round up alleged army deserters among Fonseka's followers,  and also raided his office, arresting at least 15 of his staff.Fonseka  has vowed to contest parliamentary elections due by April.<a href="http://www.etaiwannews.com/etn/news_content.php?id=1175320&lang=eng_news" target="_blank">etaiwannews</a></blockquote>
