Colonel’s wife held over LTTE link
Police investigating a Colonel on the payroll of the LTTE believed to be involved with Pottu Amman’s intelligence wing cadres arrested his wife over the weekend.
Authoritative sources said that investigators had taken her for questioning after the Colonel revealed her involvement. According to him, an LTTE cadre had worn a suicide jacket at the officer’s residence in the presence of his wife.
Under interrogation, the chief suspect had revealed that he planned to take two LTTE suicide cadres to a passing out parade at the Diyatalawa Military Academy in June, sources said.
