en_2561622_0 Colombo (News 1st): President Maithripala Sirisena said that he received the interim report of the committee to inquire into Easter Sunday attacks.
en_2561622_1 The head of state made these remarks at a May Day function in Colombo.
en_2561622_2 “I got the interim report of the committee.
en_2561622_3 I’m not going to disclose what was included in the reports.
en_2561622_4 I’m hoping to take the necessary legal action after discussing the content of the interim report with the Attorney General tomorrow.
en_2561622_5 The Defence Secretary and the Inspector General of Police had the opportunity to prevent this from taking place.
en_2561622_6 But they have not fulfilled that responsibility.
en_2561622_7 It is not that we have to fight the IS terror organization as we fought with the LTTE.
en_2561622_8 We have to think differently now.
en_2561622_9 We have to plan it in a different way.
en_2561622_10 Some accuse that we are trying to bring down soldiers from other countries.
en_2561622_11 No.
en_2561622_12 We will not let soldiers from another country to come here.
en_2561622_13 And I will not let it happen.
en_2561622_14 Our security forces -Army, Navy and Airforce, Police and the STF have the potential to eradicate these terrorists.
en_2561622_15 We need the support of foreign intelligence experts who are trained to eradicate terrorism.
en_2561622_16 We have to think about using our brains today, not the heart.
en_2561622_17 I’m certain that we will completely eradicate terrorism from our country with our security forces, intelligence units and with the support, we receive from foreign experts.”
