A female Tiger leader holding the rank of a "Major" who had arrived in Colombo to carry out a massive attack during the recently conducted general election was arrested yesterday by the Kotahena police.

Investigations have revealed that this female Tiger leader identified as Nadarasa alias Wadana has arrived from Wanni area. She had been changing lodges in Colombo frequently. The last time she had lodged was at a printing press.

She had admitted that she was unable to carry out her plans due to tight security in the Colombo city and suburbs during the election period.

Investigations are being pursued to check as to how the female Tiger major arrived in Colombo from Wanni and particulars of those who provided her lodgings in Colombo.

Meanwhile, search operations have now been launched to round up Tiger suicide bombers infiltrating Colombo city and in suburbs, police sources said.
