REFUGEE

Sources from the Army said Defence Secretary GOtabhaya Rajapaksa has ordered one Major Siriwardena to “take care of” JVP parliamentary group leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake and SLFP (M) Wing Leader Mangala Samaraweera within one week. The Defence Secretary it is learnt has promised the Major a position in a Sri Lankan mission overseas if he successfully completes the task.

Sources also said the Defence Secretary has issued such a deadly directive in order to block efforts taken by Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Mangala Samaraweera to bring General Sarath Fonseka in to politics. Major Siriwardena meanwhile is reportedly responsible for several mysterious assassinations that had taken place around


Colombo in recent times.

Major Siriwardena heads one of the paramilitary groups under Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and has currently sold his luxury residence on a seven acre land in Malabe at Rs. 2,000 lakhs and is preparing to leave the country to take over the position of Defence Advisor at a Sri Lankan mission in Europe.
