Police
have urged the public to remain vigilant in the face of persistent Tiger
infiltration from outstation areas and mixing among the Colombo
civilian population. "We
have intensified investigations especially among the Tamil civilians since
the terrorists are using them to hide. This in turn had created
difficulties to the innocent Tamil civilians who are caught in the middle
from both sides," police authorities said. Fifty Tiger suspects were taken in to custody in a joint army/police operation yesterday in Colombo City. Under
interrogation, many of those arrested admitted they had not registered their
residences. Many of the suspects are youths originating from Batticaloa, Jaffna and upcountry
areas.
Meanwhile,
a Tamil youth of Akkaraipattu area employed in a tourist hotel in Matara
was also arrested by police. Earlier
he had been working in a prawn industry in Hambantota. Police
revealed that Tamil terrorists are visiting outstations under such
disguises to carry out spy missions. Tiger terrorists had also been posing
as cricketers at several places prior to the Rajagiriya attack, they said.
