Negombo police are investigating a possible link between the LTTE and a German national who was arrested yesterday in possession of a light aircraft modified without Defence Ministry permission. The
German man was arrested yesterday at an engineering
institution in Thalahena, Negombo, with a light two-seater aircraft that
has been build up with modern parts without permission from the Defence
Ministry. The
foreigner had assembled the two-seater aircraft with a six hp engine.
Police said that the aircraft was still under construction. The aircraft
had been manufactured in the premises of a BOI industrial complex
manufacturing helmets at Basiawatta. The
engineering institute was run by the German national named Uber Baker who
is married to a Tamil woman named M. Manoranjanee of Jaffna, police said. The
police said that investigations are being held to find out any possible
links between the foreigner and the LTTE. The foreigner is being
questioned by a special police team. "Considering
the severe LTTE threat and the fact that they are now using almost every
section of the society in their brutal attacks, such investigations and
suspicions have to be clarified. We cannot afford any mistakes in our
part," stated police officials. Security
has been strengthened and investigations are now being conducted
intensively in Colombo and its suburbs after the LTTE's brutal attack in
Rajagiriya. After the
Tigers revealed that they would not in any way stop their massacres
against the civilians, security
officials were given special orders by the government to intensify their
investigations to arrest other LTTE suicide experts that have infiltrated
the Colombo City.
