the Sri Lankan defence secretary outbursts against UN, International investigations

Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, the Sri Lankan defence secretary and the brother of the SL president, in an exclusive interview given to the BBC on Tuesday has despotically opposed any international investigation on war crimes during the final stage of the war. Meanwhile, the official news website of the Rajapaksa government in its Sinhala and versions has blamed external forces for rejuvenating the claim of Tamil Eelam by backing Sarath Fonseka, citing the pattern of the results of the recent presidential elections. The Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa also warned the politicians not to guide the 'innocent people' in 'wrong path', while he referred to the election participation in North and East in his Tamil version of the February 04 speech. Gotabhaya Rajapaksa became visibly despotic in his response to the question posed by BBC's Asia Today on Tuesday: http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=79&artid=31142
