COLOMBO, Aug 1: Three persons with suspected LTTE links were arrested by police when they were caught videotaping the high security residence of Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar in Colombo.
Police sources said they suspect the three men were linked to the LTTE, and have handed them over to the CID for interrogation. Minister Kadirgamar, a Tamil, is noted for his anti-LTTE campaigns internationally and is believed to be high on the LTTE hit list.
The foreign minister’s last barb at the Tamil Tigers came on Friday when he said that a lasting solution to the country’s national question was impossible until the LTTE was fully decommissioned.
