Responding to rumours of possible life threats to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka stated that no one is foolish enough to kill him using drones.  
Speaking to the media, Fonseka said that drones are expensive equipment, adding, no one is willing and able to attack him using drones.  

 “Even during the height of the war, Mahinda was not under threat. The LTTE never attempted to assassinate him,”   
“I would like to recall how my military security was completely withdrawn by Mahinda soon after his election victory in 2010. Wasn’t I under threat at that time?” 
he questioned.   
Further, Fonseka recounted that during his time in prison, he was placed alongside inmates who were members of the LTTE, without receiving any special 
security measures.   
“While serving my sentence, I appeared in court seated on the same bench as the terrorist who accompanied the suicide bomber that attempted to take my life,” Fonseka said.
