Maithripala Sirisena sacks the national intelligence chief and will not cooperate with a parliamentary investigation in security lapses pre Easter bombings.

A suspected suicide bomber enters St. Sebastian’s Church in Negombo, Sri Lanka April 21, in this still image taken from a CCTV footage of Easter Sunday attacks.

Chief of National Intelligence Sisira Mendis was sacked after testifying to the inquiry last week that the attacks could have been averted. A ministerial source told AFP Sirisena has refused to allow any police, military or intelligence personnel to testify before the committee.
