Assassination of Lasantha goes to the account of the General SF: Witnesses ready

The anti democractic regime of Mahinda has laid out a plan to blame former army commander Gen. Sarath Fonseka of master minding the assassination of Sunday Leader editor Lasantha Wickramatunge. For this purpose they have decided to use eight soldiers serving at the moment in Kilinochchi, Wakarai, Mulaitivu and Trincomalee and they are already staying in respective camps with many privileges and their families are also to get massive economic benefits.

An army officer that came to Colombo from the north on a transfer has been given this contract and the responsibility to maintain its secrecy.

According to this plan of the govt, initially two or three soldiers will be arrested in this regard and after giving massive media coverage for these arrests, the rest will also be arrested. The govt has already had discussions in this regard with the relevant army officer and he has also been entrusted the responsibility of detaining these personnel under special security. The whole purpose of it is to convince the judiciary that it was the former General who ordered to the assassination of Lasantha Wickramatunge, using the evidence of these arrested officials for this purpose.

Reliable sources told media that these days these soldiers are studying and rehearsing of how they should give evidence against the general and a top person of the govt planning this operation has told the above army officer that if the evidence of these eight soldiers happens to be contradictory it would have some dire consequences.

It is said that the assassins of lasantha Wickramatunge have walked towards the Ratmalana
air force base after the killing and so far the police has not been able to arrest even a single suspect in this regard. During the Presidential elections last January defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse told a state owned newspaper that he knows who killed Lasantha and they will be exposed very soon.
