COLOMBO, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena on Friday provided evidence in front of a special parliamentary committee which has been set up to probe the suicide attacks which hit the country on April 21, local media reports said.
The special parliamentary committee arrived at the Presidential Secretariat in capital Colombo during which Sirisena gave a statement.
Sri Lanka's Speaker of Parliament Karu Jayasuriya appointed the special Parliamentary Committee in May to probe the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks which killed over 250 people.
The committee has to date recorded statements from several government and military officials including Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.
The committee is expected to submit its final report to Parliament in October over their findings.
Nine suicide bombers exploded themselves in churches and luxury hotels on April 21, spreading fear and panic across the island country.
At least 100 suspects have been arrested over their alleged links to the attacks and the suspects are currently under the custody of the Criminal Investigations Department and the Terrorism Investigations Department, the police said.
A local radical group, named the National Thawheed Jammath, has been blamed for the attacks.
