that this group. of some of these suicide bombers most of the if you. come from maybe the middle of the middle. so they play nicely played independent and played you know these great stable financially. this so called islamic state has said it was behind the bombings a claim officials are investigating. the government must now explain why warnings about possible attacks were not acted upon on tuesday sri lanka's president admitted there was an intelligence failure. but iraq there is a debate about why the security forces of this country did not acts upon intelligence supplied by a friendly nation. i must point out that the information received by state

intelligence units was not communicated to me by the officials responsible how i'd been informed of those details it might have been possible to take immediate action if you just pop amid the mounting questions the president has vowed to restructure the intelligence and security forces a decade after the civil war ended there are fears that the bombings could reignite underlying sectarian conflicts. for more on what's going on in chile i'm joined now on the phone from colombo by journalist jimmy dean good evening to you simulate the president has asked for the resignations of the defense secretary and the national police chief is that what the people of sri lanka want to see now. granted i have the topic at this moment of time changing any of your shows is not going to do much damage control it has now been confirmed that children because the

police definitely had seized by information of possible terror attacks and they had indeed has to act and with the president and the government each passing the buck on each other saying they were not a valid it just goes on to show that there are some c.d.'s that says in the entire administration and the public is extremely angry about this actually what the public want to hear right now is about not seeing or hearing voices resigning but they need some form onto us from this government a so why these attacks took place was behind it what more is going to be done in the coming days and how to see if the nation is going to be and i think the public are going to be safe leaving their houses for changing officials right now is not being welcomed by the public yeah it is that's a good point you bring up jamie lynn they're slow with just deciding what to do politically but when it comes to identifying the suicide bombers that has happened rather quickly eight out of the nine suicide bombers have been identified what do

we know about them. yes you're right because according to the latest information released by the government to the a.p. also nine to ten bombers have been identified and the government says it's one of the bombers or indeed it was a female the government also told us that all of these almost came from very rich backgrounds and they were highly educated in fact for mommy come on the told journalists today that these attacks being have been panned as back as seven to eight years and this is not something which had been planned in the recent past where i totally missed occasions on going to see if this group was going to any other radical group in the country that they have had any funding links so there are investigations going on and maybe in the coming days the governments will be able to shed more light a story exactly these groups were and were connected to them ok journalist as i mean the national do you know with the latest tonight from colombo sharmila thank
