The 73-year-old fled the island under military escort in July after unarmed crowds stormed his official residence, following months of angry demonstrations blaming him for the nation's unprecedented economic crisis.
"We have just created a new security division to protect him after his return," the official added."The unit comprises elements from the army and police commandos."Rights activists said they would press for Rajapaksa's arrest over a series of crimes, including his alleged role in the 2009 assassination of prominent newspaper editor Lasantha Wickrematunge.
He also faces charges in a California court over Wickrematunge's murder and the torture of Tamil prisoners at the end of the island's traumatic civil war in 2009. Police deployed plainclothes officers and armed guards outside a government residence allocated to Rajapaksa in Colombo on Friday. Security at his private home was also stepped up, officials said."What we are told is that he will fly commercial," an airport official told AFP."If it is on schedule, the aircraft should land just before midnight.
His government was accused of introducing unsustainable tax cuts that drove up government debt and exacerbated the crisis.
