The latest story is on India retraining repatriating terrorists to Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka police intelligence wings have revealed that around 150 terrorists have returned to the island following receiving training in Tamilnadu, India, reports Sinhala nationalist daily The Divaina newspaper.

Police was led to this finding through an investigation of a death of a member of Ealam People's Democratic Party (EPDP), a partner of the ruling alliance of which the leader is the Chief Minister of the Eastern Province,
