Colombo, Nov. 18 (Daily Mirror) - Evidence related to the Easter Sunday attacks has been destroyed, but that will not stop the government from uncovering the truth behind the carnage, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake told Parliament today.

Speaking in Parliament, the President said pages had been torn out of key reports, but the government has already begun gathering fresh evidence. “We will uncover the truth despite the destruction of evidence,” he said.

Defending the CID, the President said CID Chief Shani Abeysekera and Public Security Ministry Secretary Ravi Seneviratne were working day and night to uncover the truth behind the Easter Sunday attacks. “They will reveal the truth before long,” he added.
