Sri Lankan minister says WikiLeaks issue confirms US position in international operation against Sri Lanka

A Sri Lankan government minister has said today that the controversy regarding the WikiLeaks documents substantiated the fact that the United States has led an international operation against Sri Lanka.

Housing and Construction Minister and leader of the National Freedom Front (NFF) Wimal Weerawansa told the media today that the US wanted to defeat the current administration as it did not follow dictates from the US.

He said that the whole Wikileaks issue has revealed the truth behind what was being said by the likes of the NFF.

According to Weerawansa, it was the wish of the US to get a government appointed in Sri Lanka that was loyal to them.
