The Sri Lankan government announced today that it had received information on planned attacks targetting Buddhist temples using female suicide bombers associated with the National Thawheeth Jamaath group.
Publishing photos of white skirts and blouses found at a raided house in Sainthamaradu, the government intelliegence services said the plan was to disguise themselves as Buddhist worshippers and enter viharas.
The claims come amid increasing scrutiny over the links between the now banned NTJ and Sri Lanka's intelligence authorities, and why the government failed to take action despite repeated warnings from India.
