| 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.” | |
