CHANNEL 4 DOCUMENTARY FUNDED BY LTTE


Channel 4 has been funded by international LTTE bodies in order to air the documentary containing footage that has previously been proven as fake, Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa told.

The Defence Secretary stated that Channel 4 had failed to highlights the US Military killing the world’s most dangerous terrorist Osama Bin Laden and his family but had gone after Sri Lanka because of the international funding they were receiving from LTTE sources.

Several scientific tests conducted on the footage had proven that the videos had been heavily edited and were manipulated before being aired, he added.



The government had engaged in protecting the families of LTTE cadres and the LTTE leaders as the government had rehabilitated 11,000 former LTTE cadres who had surrendered as well as 4000 proven LTTE cadres who had not confessed their involvement in the killing conducted by the LTTE.

The Defence Secretary went on to brand the documentary as unfair, saying that it was aimed at destroying the Nation.
