President Anura Kumara Dissanayake says two out of six unresolved questions related to the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks have now been solved, with the remaining four expected to be uncovered soon.

Speaking in a NPP rally, the President revealed that the person responsible for planting a jacket to mislead the Vavunativu double murder investigation has been identified. He also confirmed that the owner of a mobile phone linked to an IMEI number provided by the FBI has been traced.

“These were two critical issues that needed to be resolved—and we have now solved them,” he said.

President Dissanayake accused previous administrations of using five and a half years of investigations to hide the real masterminds behind the attacks. He assured that his government is fully committed to uncovering the truth and delivering justice.

The Easter Sunday bombings in April 2019 claimed the lives of over 260 people and remain one of the most devastating acts of terrorism in Sri Lanka’s history. (Newswire)
