London reporter says that a mob has attacked Kingsbury temple
in London yesterday (26) damaging door and widow panes and
two vehicles parked in the premises after President Mahinda
Rajapakse visited the temple on his way to New York to participate
in the UN General Assembly.
Our
reporter says that the monks residing in the temple have
identified two persons as they fled after breaking several
glasses by attacking with an iron rod and the monks say
they are LTTE sympathizers.
The President visited this temple on September 20 and the
chief prelate of UK Glayaye Piyadassi Thero invoked blessings
to him.
The
attack has taken place around 1.35 AM. The damage caused
to vehicles is estimated around 25,000 pounds. No monk residing
in the temple has been harmed. A complaint has been lodged
in Metropolitan police and an investigation is underway.
Our
London reporter says that three previous times as well the
LTTE associates pulled down the lion’s flag hoisted
in the temple.
