Sri Lanka president vows to block Easter attacks probe

 

Sri Lanka's president has told his cabinet that he will not cooperate with a parliamentary investigation into security lapses leading to the Easter suicide bombings, official sources said Saturday.

 

Maithripala Sirisena summoned an emergency meeting of his cabinet on Friday night to oppose the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) probing the April 21 attacks that killed 258 people and wounded nearly 500.

 

A ministerial source told AFP Sirisena has refused to allow any police, military or intelligence personnel to testify before the committee.

 

"The cabinet meeting ended inconclusively," the source said on condition of anonymity. "The government did not agree to suspend the PSC either."……

 

…..Sirisena said last week that he had met with the national police chief and his top brass 13 days before the Easter Sunday attacks but no officer had raised the warnings which had been relayed by India.

 

Official sources said New Delhi had provided details of planned attacks based on information from a jihadist in Indian custody.

 

What is he hiding? Mooslim apologist/protector or just his incompetence?
