Colombo, March 22 (Daily Mirror) - Former President Maithripala Sirisena today disclosed that he is well aware of the true perpetrators behind the Easter Sunday bombings in 2019.

He made this disclosure while addressing reporters in Kandy.

"The suspects who are currently in remand custody in connection with the attacks are minor offenders. The real culprits are still at large. However, I am ready to shed light on the perpetrators of the Easter Sunday attacks and make a special statement if I am summoned to court," he stated.

"I have been keeping this information under wraps, and therefore, it is imperative for the judges also to keep a lid on it,” he added.
