Colombo: A prominent member of a banned Sri Lankan terror outfit involved in the Easter Sunday bombings was among the five suspects repatriated from Saudi Arabia, police said on Friday as they questioned them for their alleged links to the carnage.
Police spokesperson Ruwan Gunasekera said Mohamed Milhan was a key associate of Zahran Hashim, a leader of the banned National Thawheed Jamath who killed himself in the blast at the Shangri La Hotel.
Milhan, also listed as a terror suspect in the Intelligence alerts before the Easter attacks, is wanted since Nov for the killing of 2 cops in Kathankudy where Hashim had his base.
