Kegalle High Court today sentenced an accused to 35 years rigorous imprisonment for aiding and abetting a female LTTE suicide cadre who attempted to assassinate former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka on April 26, 2006.

High Court judge Ms. Menaka Wijesundara convicted Shanmugalingum Sooriyakumar alias Suri in four counts including escorting the suicide bomber Manjula Devi from Kilinochchi and harbouring her in Weliweriya. The convict was a lorry driver from Rambukkana.

Well Done Your Honour!! It would be interesting to catch the masterminds behind the cowardly act. It is heartening to note that the Judiciary is impartial.

Who is this women suicide bomber?
How could she managed to get into Army HQ? Who gave access to her? how could she became so powerful?
Who is responsible for such worst security lapses in Army HQ?
Why personal butler of Army Cheif who was captured for this conspiracy was allowed to hang himself in the custody?
There are many more questions un-answered...

Verdict in only 6 years...not bad.

SF says that he rescued the country by wining the war but his life too was in risky as he was attempted by a bomber then who took initiative to eradicate those who were responsible . It was MR.
