Sri Lanka's former Army Commander says large hauls of gold recovered from LTTE areas

Sri Lanka's former Army Commander and Democratic National Alliance (DNA) parliamentarian Sarath Fonseka said that 200 kilograms of gold had been unearthed from the Vellamullivaikkal area in the Mullaitivu District during his tenure as Army Chief.
Fonseka told parliament during the debate to extend the emergency regulations that while larger stocks of gold had been recovered after his tenure as commander, no one knew what happened to the gold.
He added that Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP had access to lot of money and its whereabouts are still unknown.
Fonseka said that the comment made by KP in an interview that he and the Defence Secretary thought alike had a deeper meaning.
He said that had KP revealed such sentiments during the war, the lives of 5,000 soldiers could have been saved.
