The military has not ruled out the possibility of a vehicle laden with explosives in Colombo targeting a VIP as stated by Former Chief of Defense Staff General Sarath Fonseka.
In an exclusive interview with Daily Mirror Online today General Sarath Fonseka claimed that at a state intelligence meeting earlier this month, it had been revealed that a vehicle packed with explosives was somewhere in Colombo targeting a VIP.
Military Spokesperson Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Daily Mirror Online that state intelligence was working on the matter but refused to divulge more information as state intelligence is off limits to the public.
He did however state that the number of checkpoints may increase and ‘other measures’ may be put in place to ensure the security of VIP’s and the general public.
