(June 22, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Twelve army soldiers who are in the two Channel 4 videos have been identified, a senior officer of the Sri Lanka Army said.
He said that the identified army soldiers are from the Army’s Commando unit, Special Task Force and the 681st Brigade.
Among those identified are several officers and soldiers. Even after being identified, the Defence Secretary has asked the Army Commander to keep a close watch on them without ordering any action against them.
The Defence Secretary believes that any attempt to interrogate the identified military personnel
would crate a massive controversy and details about the killings shown in the Channel 4 video would become public.
The senior Army officer said that the Army has commenced a confidential internal inquiry into the matter.
