Mangala and Sripathi assisted the Katunayake attack- Govt
Tuesday, 27 March 2007 - 4:49 AM SL Time

The government charges that carelessness of the UNP and revealing information about MIG air craft by Sripahti and Mangala assisted the LTTE to launch this mornings attack on the Katunayake Air Force base.

Addressing the media at the media centre for national security this evening minister of media Anura Priyadharshana Yapa and Minister Jeyeraj Fernandopulle made the above charges.

The ministers say that they suspect of a conspiracy or a connection between Sripathi and Mangala disclosing information and the attack carried out by the LTTE.

The duo did not answer any questions raised by the media such as; weren�t the air force able to track the air craft on their radar system and why wasn�t the air craft attacked even when it was carrying out aerial attacks. They said that a special committee has been appointed regarding the attack and that if any information is revealed it could hinder the investigations. They say that once the investigations are over all information pertaining to the attack would be disclosed to the media adding that the government has nothing to hide.

The minister of media said the MIG fighter jets was the target of the light air craft that laid bombs to the Katunayake air base this morning adding that 2 of the 3 bombs had blasted. He also thanked the air force for being able to foil a possible massive devastation by acting bravely during the attack.

The minister also said that they suspect whether those in South wanted to disclose any information to the LTTE as they were shouting openly about various things that were important to the National Security. He also charged that the previous UNP government should be held responsible for their negligence in allowing the LTTE to build the air strip in Iranamadu and for allowing to smuggle parts of the air craft to the country. The media minister also says that several parties are now attempting sling mud on the government based on the attack.

He said that the air force has appointed a five member committee to investigate the attack while the CID has also launched a separate investigation into the bombing.

Cheap political mileage even out of this ! What do you expect when the buffaloes beleive it ?

There is a very sinister attempt to wind up the armed forces against so called 'dissidents' that could lead to a military government in this country.....very soon.

Who assisted the LTTE in the following cases?

GaminiD, Lalith, Premadasa, CTO, Maradana trainstation, Ceylon Cold store: SLFP including CBK and MR

Katunayake airport, oilrefinary, Colomboport:Mangala and sripathy and SLFP

Parami kulatunga: mangala, Sripathy and sLFp

Attack on Gota Raja: mangala, sripathy and SLFP

Galleport, airbase, kabithigollawa:Mangala and sripathy

More than 50 military camps which were attacked during CBK time: Managal, sripahty and SLFP

I am not including the town hall bomb where CBK was injured since according to Victor Ivan it was her own plot and act.
You see, in the end, SLFP is the biggest culprit in this country for the security mess as well as the economic mess.

What our government doesnt understand is that there are so many possible ways that this kind of intel could have leaked through the forces. True that Mangala and Sripathi actually brought it into the spot light. But I highly doubt the tigers rely on our newspapers to gather their intel. Gong Raja is trying to use this situation to sling mud at M & S to further reduce their credibility. Typical joker!

That means LTTE is not aware of MIG and Kfir before???

They come to know only through Mangala and Sripathy????

When will our ministers stop talking nonsense and fooling people???

During CBK time Jeyaraj blamed George Bush for US$ going up against SL Rupee. such a pathatic guy is holding the Trade minister post.
