There is evidence to implicate Sri Lankan military intelligence officers in the disappearance of the journalist Prageeth Ekneligoda, the attorney general told the country's supreme court on Tuesday.
The additional solicitor general was quoted by the Colombo Page as stating, "two army intelligence officers posing as two LTTE members had built a personal friendship with the missing cartoonist and they have abducted the journalist and taken away to the Girithale army camp."
Mr Ekneligoda, who was a cartoon journalist critical of the former president's regime, disappeared six years ago.
