Raid on Fonseka’s Colombo office
29 January 2010 09:39 am - 29 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
By Supun Dias & Dianne SilvaThe Special Task Force (STF) is currently raiding the office of General Sarath Fonseka located near Royal College in Colombo. An official at the General’s office said that over 200 STF personnel are searching the premises.
Our reporter at the scene said that the office has been surrounded by masked STF officers and the media is not being given access to the office.
UNP Deputy Leader Karu Jayasuriya who visited the scene at the time of the raid, later told reporters that the STF had informed him they were looking for army deserters and illegal weapons hidden at the location but had not found anything during the search.
Several other opposition members had also visited the scene at the time of the raid this evening.
When contacted the STF Commandant DIG K.M.L Sarathchandra said that the STF had only assisted the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to conduct the search operation, as the office was under suspicion.
One of the lawyers of General Sarth Fonseka claimed that 15 ex-army personnel were questioned and taken away by the CID, despite of being informed that they were all retired officers and ordinary men.

very nice to set free a terrorist who killed innocent people and service personnel. Karuna must be searched, instead searching a war hero. corrupt!

like every other citizen of SL Fonseka is not above the law. Simply beause he was former army general does not give him the right to assasinate the President and to organise coup attempt. Fonseka must be tried for his crimes. Raiding his office is a welcome step and people should be supportive of the move. I guess most people here are dissapointed because they were not able to pull tenders.

Shan.....this where we are heading...
Somalia....Uganda.....Zimbabwe...... its only a one way ticket....Saturday, 30 January 2010 07:36 AM
Its sad that the hearts of Sri Lankans have got so hardened. Murder, corruption and nepotism has become a part of ethical politics. This is not democracy this is hypocrisy. SL ppl should learn to stand against for what is wrong no matter who they are supporting for. Believe me we are laughing at the what is happening in your country. Your country needs an overhaul. Good night!

He was a hero when he defeated the tigers. He became a traitor when he oppose the president. Wake up to judge your own wit.

Now maybe he realizes the way the innocent tamils feel when their residences are searched and will work harder to rectify the injustice.

It is time that all Sri Lankans, including the media and politicians, stop this "Fonseka bashing" and direct our energies on getting MR to deliver on his promises of curbing corruption; ensuring development; upholding media freedom and law & order; etc. He remains accountable to the people who elected him.

The time has come for taking revenge on the loosers.

Please read all the headlines, in today's 'Daily Mirror.' Take them to your heart, without bias. Question: Was this how previous Presidents and Governments behaved after being reelected?

The government claims that they have the majority people behind President. Then why are they so worried about a candidate that has lost" badly" as stated by the government ?
