    We suspect foul play, a investigation by the government could not be trusted, said Tissa Attanayake, General Secretary of the UNP party.



    Top terrorist Pillayan travels in bulletproof vehicles courtesy of Rajapaksa government. LTTE breakaway Karuna Amman is given state protection. However, General Janaka Perera who had rendered a great service to this country, died as a civilian without any protection, Mr. Attanayake further said.
