Carnage, masterminds and political battles
The Island
|July 11, 2025
Minister of Public Security Ananda Wijepala declared in Parliament on Wednesday that TMVP leader Sivanesathurai Chanthirakanthan alias Pilleyan had had prior knowledge of the Easter Sunday terror strikes (2019).
-
Pilleyan was in the Batticaloa prison at the time of the terror attacks.
A narrative is apparently being created to support former aide to Pilleyan, Azad Moulana’s claim that Pilleyan and the military intelligence had links to Zahran Hashim and other NTJ terrorists. No one may have been more au fait with the workings of the NTJ terror network than Mohamed Ibrahim, father of two NTJ suicide bombers, Mohamed Ilham and Mohamed Insaf. This fact has been borne out by a leaked recording of a telephone conversation between CID Director SSP Shani Abeysekera and Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayaka during the Yahapalana government.
