Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake on Sunday said he has forwarded the presidential panel report of 2021 on the Easter terror attacks to CID for further action, ahead of an anticipated statement about the mastermind of the deadly strikes.
Nine suicide bombers belonging to local Islamist extremist group National Thawheed Jamaat (NTJ) linked to ISIS carried out a series of devastating blasts that tore through three churches and as many luxury hotels on April 21, 2019, killing 258 people, including 11 Indians.
“Today, I have forwarded the commission report to the CID to do their investigation. All previous investigations have aimed to cover up rather than reveal those responsible," Dissanayakle told a campaign rally for the May 6 local council election.
