Gen. Janaka Perera and 27 others.He was making a special speech in Parliament today (Oct. 07th).Mr. Wickremesinghe said they could not trust the probe by Sri Lanka Police.The government had not given the ex-military commander with adequate protection and jeopardized his personal safety, he alleged.Mr. Wickremesinghe accused the government of being responsible for the incident, and said it had treated the late ex-army commander with contempt, and not as a heroic soldier.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rathnasiri Wickremanayake said the government strongly condemned the killing of Maj. Gen. Perera and the others.He praised the late soldier-turned politician for having rendered an excellent service to the nation, and said no one could be totally protected against the LTTE.</blockquote>
