(Lanka-e-news, 7th April 2008, 11.30pm) It is revealed by now that Minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle was assassinated due to lack of security, provided by the Special Task Force.
From last February, security of Minister Fernandopulle was transferred to STF from MSD as per request made by the Senior DIG, who is in charge of the MSD, to the Commandant, STF.
MSD is a specially trained division for VIP security. When a VIP is scheduled to visit a certain place, MSD always have discussions with the Police Officers of the area, prior to the visit of VIP, and make suitable security plans as per the discussions the Police and MSD had. This security arrangements are carrying on by MSD until the VIP departs the place.
When Minister Jeyaraj arrived at Weliweriya yesterday, there were no such security arrangements. The opinion of most of the people is that STF is not a special trained unit for VIP security like MSD.
In a situation like this, instead of taking the responsibility of yesterday's incident, STF, who provided security to the Minister, is now trying to put the blame on to the Minister and his personal body guard saying that these two never listened to the security advises, and as a result of same, yesterday's incident was happened. However, to reply STF, Minister and his personal body guard are no more as both of them were died yesterday (6th).
In the meantime, an important information was received by Lanka-e-news, ie: one of the foreign intelligent units have informed a Chief of the special intelligent unit in Sri Lanka 14 days ago that 2 black tigers were approached the Minister. Further the foriegn intelligent unit has informed that as close friends of the Minsiter, they were reached an important place of the Sri Lankan economy, and Chief of the special intelligent unit of Sri Lanka have advised the informant that necessary actions are taking by them.
However, after the unfortunate incident of yesterday, this special intelligent unit says that their advices are pointless as they are not accepted by the VIP.
