Will get foreign sleuths if police fail deadline, Mahinda tells ICRC
Wednesday, 6 June 2007 - 11:04 AM SL Time

While giving a seven-day deadline to the Police Chief to find vital clues leading to the killers of the two Red Cross workers, President Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday informed the ICRC and the Sri Lanka Red Cross officials that he was even prepared to bring down foreign sleuths in the event of the police failing to meet the deadline.

Red Cross sources told the Daily Mirror that President Rajapaksa had given this undertaking during a meeting with ICRC and Sri Lanka Red Cross representatives at Temple Trees yesterday.

While giving an assurance to the Red Cross representatives that he would go to any extent to apprehend the killers, the President had emphasized that whoever they were, their motive was to discredit the government. `Whoever they are the purpose is to bring disrepute and embarrass the government,` the President had reportedly said.
