So it had NOTHING to do with a breakdown in intelligence. Who were these two reporting to ? Lock all of them up.

Add Minister Azath Salley into the mix. If he hadn't intervened in the arrest of Shahid and Sadiq for vandalising Buddhist statues, these terrorists might not have been involved in the Easter bombings!

Everyone try to take political mileage from mentally retarded Zahran. These SCUMS have no value for human lives in their quest for power. Everyone of them have blood smeared on their hands.

Nice to here that something carry out against the negligence of public security by the government of Sri Lanka. It caused massacre and it should not be dumped under the carpet. "Need justice for innocent people who were killed and who are the victims.
