A`pura bomber came in white van - UNP

The UNP says it has information that indicates that the suicide bomber that killed Maj. Gen. Janaka Perera had arrived for his mission in a white-coloured van.
UNP National Organizer S.B. Dissanayake, speaking to the media in Colombo today (Oct. 09th), alleged a government hand in the incident four days ago, noting that police were still clueless about the attacker.
According to him, the bomber had been both physically and mentally handicapped, and such a person could not have carried out a suicide bombing without assistance of others.
Mr. Dissanayake questioned as to why police have found nothing so far about those perpetrators.
More than the opposition leader of the north central province, it was UNP organizer for Anuradhapura Dr. A. John Pulle who could have been the target of the suicide attack, he said.
The UNP national organizer alleged it would have been an attempt to prevent the exposure of those responsible for the arson attack on Dr. John Pulle`s home during the recent provincial polls.
He also noted that human rights lawyer J.C. Weliamuna`s home, located near two police posts, had come under a hand grenade attack with the knowledge of the government.
Also speaking at the media briefing, UNP MP Palitha Range Bandara said the government was taking revenge even from the remains of the late Maj. Gen. Perera.
The independent police committee probing the incident had been suspended last night, and the inquiry taken under Senior DIG K.P.P. Pathirana, which are all indications of a government hand in the attack, he added.

Sad enough that we've lost a political leadership and a war hero, while LTTE has accepted responsibility to this, as usual, these toilet mouthed SB like characters have come out of the gutters to feed on carcases.

while LTTE has accepted responsibility to this,
Have they? can you show us where? and whether it was LTTe which accepted for government saying LTTe accepted.
This kind of crap is good for punnakku eaters.
UNP has right to voice its concern cos government did not provide cover to the event and security for late JP.
How come Karuna gets more security from government and now an MP.
he is criminal and JP was a hero
Good for nothing junta government is protecting criminals like Pillion, Karuna, Mervin while killing heros and national leaders. |

Read through this forum or a decent newspaper and use commonsense. Then you'll find plenty of evidence. (You'd probably not find it in Lasantha Wikramatunga's Pathathara Kadamalu, which you love to read.)
Then again if you say the government killed JP, that implies Mahinda is capable of mobilizing suicide bombers to kill for him. That should worry UNP the most, as Ranil or any other politician never had people who were ready to die for them.
The reality is, whatever the crime committed by LTTP, UNP is covering it up. There is no evidence anywhere that Ranil has condemned LTTE for this or willingness to do so.
Let's forget about all that for a moment. Tell me this: if you prove 100% that Mahinda killed JP directly or indirectly...so what? Will people spontaneously come to the streets and protest?
I challenge UNP to mobilize people against the government based on this single incident, rather than feasting on carcasses. |

so what say is that it is ok for the so called elected to leader to kill opposition members and remain in power by using terrorists like Pillion and Karuna. What rights he has to do so? It is true people are helpliss against the junta government which is run by thugs. But it is not ok.
rather than feasting on carcasses.
U do remembers the past well. MR used to do that when JVPers were killed by security forces during insurgency. SLFP and JVPers are much better at it than UNP.
I challenge UNP to mobilize people
UNP does not beleive in lawlessness and violence. UNP is a non violent party which has over 48% support. But it will never put the party interest before country. Country comes first. But let it be known, junta government cannot run the country by force for every. World has seen worse dictators like Sadam, Lenin, Stalin, Marcos, etc. etc. Your beloved leaders may also follow the same path. |

Whether he came on a white van or not this great hero's body had to be carted via road as the new sinhala hero MR refused to give a helecopter ride. He got what he deserves. Shows the greatness of the Sinhalaya's , nothing comes above politics.
Had he been a SLFP member by now he would have had state funeral with MR and Co shedding croc tears... |

This Govt set the stage for Janaka Perera's killing by not providing security. Only blind MR supporters would deny that. Many Sri Lankans (including some die-hard SLFP supporters) I spoke to said govt could have given security to save this war hero.
Regular Ranil or UNP bashing as seen in LNP by SL expats is not going to cover up the loss of a hero to our country.
We live in SL and know exactly how people feels about this.

WHITE VAN............
Is that a symbol of Ltte suicide bombers?
Unofficial information points the finger at Janaka Perera's own political party of instigating the attack....
Anybody can own a white van but suicide bombers can not be found in each of these vans.
Police will reinforce security checks when they see white vans!
What a chaos!
Traffic jams will be everywhere!
Let Police do the investigation to find the culprits!
Investigations may be long.... remember the other VIP gunned down close to his swimming pool?
There, only one person was assassinated...With Janaka Perera nearly 30!
