Allegations on
Govt. misusing LTTE assets, baseless -
National Intelligence Chief |
|
|
|
National
Intelligence
Chief,
Major
General
Kapila
Hendawitharne
condemned
the
false
campaign
in the
print
and
electronic
media
which
are
encouraged
by some
with
personal
interests
alleging
the
Government
misuse
of LTTE
assets.
He added
such
allegations
were
baseless
and
untrue.
National
Intelligence
Chief
said
that
such
allegations
were not
only
demoralizing
to those
involved
in
intelligence
but also
affected
the
ongoing
investigations
which
ultimately
benefit
the
country.
Earlier,
similar
acts of
betrayal
resulted
in
harming
not only
the
lives of
the
Officers
involved
in
Intelligence
work but
also the
entire
nation.
According
to Media
Center
for
National
Security
(MCNS)
Major
General
Hendawitharne
told the
media
that
there is
also a
valuable
foreign
intelligence
input
regarding
the
assets
of the
LTTE
which
finally
resulted
in
success.
However,
such
baseless
allegations
are only
damaging
and
unhelpful.
He added
that the
ability
to
finally
seize
the LTTE
vessel
was the
result
of a
long
term
intelligence
effort
conducted
by
committed
Intelligence
Officers
and such
false
allegations
will be
only a
hindrance
to
successful
investigations
in the
future.
