(Lanka-e-News-13.Sep.2013,2.30PM) Three officers of the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) of the army and a sub inspector of police of the President’s Security Division (PSD) have been dispatched on a secret mission to London by the Rajapakse regime, according to reports This team had gone by Sri Lanka airlines and is scheduled to reach London day before yesterday(11) in the night. A group from the SL High Commission in the UK were at the Heathrow airport to receive them.
The reason behind this secret departure to London is not made known. This force earlier called the RDF (Rapid deployment Force)is now known as LRRP. These soldiers have been trained to be in hiding at one place for many weeks under the most trying circumstances until the enemy arrives ,then kill the enemy and escape.
It is noteworthy that at the moment there is no war between SL and the UK ,and the war against the LTTE in SL also has ended over 4 years ago. Even during the LTTE war when the LTTE theoretician Dr. Anton Balasuriya was residing in the UK, no LRRP soldier was sent there targeting him. Hence this sudden departure of the LRRP to London is surrounded by mystery and suspicion.
It is also learnt that a gold businessman who is closely associated with the Rajapakse regime was dispatched to London some weeks earlier to arrange all the facilities and comforts for this secret operation team.
