Security has been beefed up in special areas on suspicion that foreign groups in Sri Lanka could face an attack following intelligence reports on potential threats to Sri Lanka from terrorist groups by October, after the escalation of the war situation in the Middle East, Acting IGP Priyantha Wijesuriya said today.
He told a news conference at the Polonnaruwa SSP’s office that the decision was taken by the National Security Council (NSC) which met with the participation of the President on Monday.

He said security of all foreigners in Sri Lanka has been ensured and that all embassies have been informed of the situation.
