Five Tamil youth found loitering in the vicinity of Minister Douglas Devananda`s residence at Amarasekara Mawatha, Bambalapitiya yesterday night, were arrested by the Minister`s security and handed over to the Bambalapitiya police, as they had no plausible explanation to offer for their presence there at such a late hour.
The LTTE had on numerous occasions attempted to assassinate Devananda.
Police sources said the LTTE was still in pursuit of Devananda and may be gathering information on his movements and habits to target him.
The Bambalapitiya police said the five youths, when questioned, did not have any explanation to offer for their presence opposite the Devananda residence.
