Earlier, Major General Aruna Jayasekara, the local military commander, said on Saturday that at least three people were wounded in the gunbattle that saw at least three explosions.
On Thursday, the Australian government warned its citizens to "reconsider" their need to travel to Sri Lanka. Britain has done the same. The president spoke as Sri Lankans remained on edge and security forces fanned across the country. Muslim and Christian religious services were cancelled or held under tight security amid police warnings of possible further attacks after multiple suicide bombings on Easter Sunday that killed at least 250 people at churches and hotels.
The president said strict new measures would be taken to identify and track people, similar to those used during the lengthy civil war between separatist ethnic Tamils and the government that ended in 2009. "Every household in the country will be checked," he said, and lists of all residents made to "ensure that no unknown person can live anywhere."
One would have thought their god would have alerted them that the police were on the way so they could flee, if they are doing his bidding as they claim!
