Maldivian, five Sri Lankans arrested so far over Arugam Bay threat
Colombo, NOv 03 (Daily Mirror) - A total of six suspects including a Maldivian national have been arrested so far in connection with the security threats to tourists in Arugam Bay, Public Security Minister Vijitha Herath said.
The Minister said that the suspects were arrested based on the intelligence information received over potential attacks in the Arugam Bay area, as well as incidents involving the photographing of major financial sites in Colombo.
“So far, we have arrested six individuals. A Maldivian and five Sri Lankans are in custody and investigations are proceeding. However, we still cannot say what kind of plan or attempt this was. Because it is not possible to draw such a conclusion from the information obtained from the six arrested persons. Therefore, unnecessary misinterpretations should be avoided,” Herath said.
