The IGP has instructed Central Province Police authorities to conduct investigations into a slain ISIS militant who reported to be a Sri Lankan.

 

Police Media Spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekera told the media yesterday that the police needs to ascertain the truth in the story.

 

Media reports claimed that the militant was known in the organization as Abu Shuraih Sailani. He was reportedly a former Sri Lankan Karate instructor and a principal of an international school.

 

A member of the school management told media yesterday that the suspected militant had served for two years as a principal of the school in Galewela. He had suddenly resigned from his job saying he wanted to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca.
