He insisted on Brigadier Wimalaratne spying on Denzil Kobbekaduwa and gave him that specific task. General Attyagale had to give orders down the line to give Government stocks of weapons to the LTTE, who were by then considered enemies and also import weapons for them. These officers feared Premadas's revenge if obstructed in any way. Tennyson Edirisooriya, a former Member of Parliament for Tissamaharama, who testified at the Inquiry Commission said that Brigadier V. Wimalaratne had told him two or three months before his death that, he was sent to Jaffna by President Premadasa to do a specific job, namely to spy on General Denzil Kobbekaduwa and if he did not do what the President wanted, then his further prospect would be affected. According to Tennyson Edirisooriya, Wimalaratne has told him that he found Kobbekaduwa to be a very good person. Therefore, Wimalaratne was in a dilemma not knowing what to do?  <img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12660&stc=1&d=1261392933" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Brigadier Bohoran under oath to Commission said that, Army Commander General Wanasinghe told him that, there will be a consignment of arms and ammunition to be sent to Welioya for the LTTE and that a LTTE representative would take delivery. He said that General Wanasinghe told him to keep this matter secretly. According to Brigadier Bohoran, the consignment went by road in 4 trucks, the LTTE came by air force helicopters to his Welioya camp helipad. Lawrence Thilkakar and two or three others were there. General Wanasinghe had already told him that being a soldier their feelings did not matter. They had to carry out orders from the top.  Bohoran said that he changed the drivers of the truck and the escorts to take the lorries into the jungle to the unloading point. Bohoran had some special forces troops who helped him put on this operation. He said that he told them to keep secrecy. The unloading took place at a point close to Kent Farm (Kalyanapura). The LTTE was waiting. It was close to midnight. One of the officers who participated in this operation was Lieutenant Vathiyage.  The weapons delivered on 6 July 1989, according to the list of Brigadier Bohoran, were 500 T56 automatic rifles from the Central armory of the Army Headquarters. Again, according to Brigadier Bohoran, he received another consignment in two lorries load on 7 July 1989, the very next day. The consignment included 1 lakh ammunitions for self loading rifles, 200,000 rounds for T56 rifles. He said over 100 LTTE cadres came to secure the weapons in tractors. The handing over of weapons took place about 15 kilometers from the Welioya Base camp. </blockquote>
