Zahran’s wife confessed Zahran met intelligence officers prior to attacks: Harin!!

 Zahran’s wife had confessed that her husband had met the intelligence officers several times prior to Easter Sunday attacks, SJB MP Harin Fernando told Parliament today.

Whilst making this disclosure, MP Fernando requested the Public Security Minister to table a copy of the statements given by Zahran’s wife to Parliament.

“We don’t know whether Zahran’s wife is alive or not, but we request Minister Sarath Weerasekera to table the statement given to police by her in Parliament. We have evidence to prove that Zahran met intelligence officers prior to April 21 suicide attacks. Zaharan’s wife had confirmed this in her statement,” the MP said.

Also he alleged that two lorries which were stopped by the police at Gelanigama exit point at Southern expressway have been released upon the orders of a certain high ranking police officer. “This police officer has been in a popular 'Malu Malu' resort on April 21. Eye Witnesses have revealed these information about these lorries even to Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith,”  MP also said.

MP Manusha Nanayakkara who came out with more information said the two lorries which were apprehended contained explosives. “The high ranking police officer had accepted a  monetary bribe with a five thousand rupee note. Is this high ranking police officer included in the team of police officers who met the Mahanayaka Theras and requested them to talk on behalf of them?” Mr. Nanayakkara questioned. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)
