A Sri Lankan Tamil professor arrested on Monday was released yesterday after preliminary investigations failed to establish a link between the former foreign university don and Friday's terrorist attack at Rajagiriya The
professor was detained after police had received a tip-off that the
suspect had closed his office at Samanala Lane, Rajagiriya, earlier than
usual because he had prior knowledge of the terrorist attack. However,
during the intense investigation, it was revealed that the professor who
managed the gem cutting and polishing business had no involvement in the
Rajagiriya carnage. Several
other people have been arrested in connection with the attack, including a
security guard employed by a private firm to guard the land from where the
LTTE mounted the Friday's attack.
