A special team comprising senior intelligence officers of the Sri Lanka Army (SLA), police, and other state security agencies has been conducting confidential investigation into the killing of Jeyaraj Fernandopulle amid news reports which alleged that the suicide bomber had been moving in the area as a member Ministerial Security Division on the day of the incident, reports quoting police department spokesman M.K.Ilankakone said.
