(Lanka-e-News -06.May.2016, 4.45AM) An important piece of evidence has been received by Lanka e news substantiating the allegation made by Sarath Fonseka that the Pithala junction bomb explosion was planned and orchestrated by ex defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse. Following our request via our news report last evening under the caption “ ‘Piththala junction bomb was orchestrated by Gota ’ More evidence surface in support of Fonseka’s statement” , to our viewers to furnish us with evidence , if any they have in connection with this incident , a high rung officer (whose name cannot be disclosed) of the Intelligence division at night, disclosed a most important piece of evidence to Lanka e news.
He disclosed that in the Piththala junction bomb explosion incident the individual who was in the three wheeler in which the bomb was, had been an informant of the defence intelligence for a long time , and was a government spy who knew Tamil language well., and the three wheeler was given to him by the forces. The defense ministry was crediting monies secretly to his account monthly for his services , the same officer further stated.
After the bomb explosion , the supposed head of the dead suicide bomber shown to the mass media after the attack , was in such a state of mutilation , that the remains of the bomber could not be identified. Usually in the case of an LTTE suicide bomber , it is the body that is destroyed in the attack , and the head gets dislocated and thrown off , but in this instance it was just the other way about.
The Intelligence division without revealing who was riding the three wheeler , only stated the bomb was transported from Kilinochchi, and arrested a vehicle driver , a Tamil national by the name of Ponnasamy Karthigesu who was working for CARE International organization, thereby diverting the public resentment and anger towards the NGO. The Intelligence division also without revealing whose three wheeler it was , arrested a Muslim National Latheef Mohomed Farees who was supposed to have been the broker in the purchase of the three wheeler. In any event in the end , no case was filed against these two individuals.
Meanwhile , another piece of evidence had surfaced earlier on linked to the gas mask that was found in the vehicle in which Gotabaya travelled on that day. Information in this connection had been received by Lanka e news inside information division. This gas mask is not mentioned in the ‘VIP check list’ though every item providing security for the VIP’s vehicle must be indicated in that check list. This omission has now been confirmed. The CID officers who conducted the investigation that time have made a record of this omission.
It is obvious , Gotabaya has taken a gas mask on that day because he was aware well ahead of this bomb explosion. The bullet proof vehicle had been so manufactured that in case there is an attack , the doors will automatically close forbidding exit and entry. This system (security option) is to safeguard the individual within the vehicle . The vehicle in which Gotabaya travelled, this system was in place.
Gotabaya on that day has therefore taken the gas mask to overcome the situation if the doors get locked and he experiences breathing difficulties. Perhaps the gas mask was not mentioned in the VIP check list because Gotabaya wanted this secret to be known only to him. Moreover , in the vehicles in which Gotabaya travelled subsequently , the gas mask was never carried. This was because Gotabaya was so sure such a bomb attack will not recur .
This high ranking Intelligence officer who gave graphic details , said , it is a matter for doubt whether the spy of the forces was sacrificed in order to execute Gotabaya’s conspiracy. In the forces there could have been many officers who are skilled in producing bombs like those of the LTTE. Hence , investigations shall be launched to ascertain whether such a bomb that was made via an officer was fixed in the three wheeler of the informant even without the latter’s knowledge , and made to explode 25 meters away from target in order that Gotabaya’s vehicle will not be seriously damaged.
This aforementioned bomb exploded at Piththala junction . Kollupitiya on 1 st December 2006. 7 Civilians and 7 members of the security detail of Gotabaya sustained injuries following this bomb attack. Two of the 7 members of the army died owing to grave injuries they sustained. 8 vehicles including Gotabaya’s were also damaged.
In the light of the exposure made by Field marshal Fonseka in Parliament , and this latest evidence furnished to Lanka e news , the investigation into this grave conspiracy shall be revived compulsorily.
