BBC
International media watchdogs have expressed concern over removing security provided to Sunday Times journalist, Iqbal Athas.

In a letter to President Mahinda Rajapaksa, The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said it is alarmed by grave threats made against the veteran defence columnist.

Athas “has come under extraordinary pressure following his investigations into irregularities surrounding a 2006 deal to purchase MiG-27 fighter jets from Ukraine,” the letter stated.

Five Sri Lankan media organisations also urged the authorities to restore security provided to Athas as his life is in danger after the government decided to remove his security last week.

Sri Lanka government launched judiciary and parliamentary probes over alleged corruption in military purchases after Iqbal Athas reveled them in Sunday Times.

  3. China and Russia put the blame on some screwed up experiments of US for the earthquake that happened in Haiti.
    Chinese and Russian Military scientists, these reports say, are concurring with Canadian researcher, and former Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine, Benjamin Fulford, who in a very disturbing video released from his Japanese offices to the American public, details how the United States attacked China by the firing of a 90 Million Volt Shockwave from the Americans High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facilities in Alaska
    If we can recollect a previous news when US blamed Russia for the earthquake in Georgio. What do you guys think? Is it really possible to create an earthquake by humans?
