Sri Lanka probes claim of spy chief's link to 2019 Easter bombings
The Straits Times
|September 12, 2023
Sri Lanka’s President has announced an investigation into allegations made by a British television documentary that his current spy chief was complicit in the country’s worst attack against civilians.
-
Mr Ranil Wickremesinghe on Sunday said he was naming a retired Supreme Court judge to probe accusations that MajorGeneral Suresh Sallay, the head of the State Intelligence Service SIS), orchestrated the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.
The documentary aired last week featured a political insider cement of a fresh local investigation falls short of calls from the island’s Catholic Church for an independent international inquiry.
The alleged involvement of local intelligence operatives in the attacks has already been raised in Sri Lankan courts, but no one has been prosecuted.
