India will deal with 4 ISIS suspects arrested from Gujarat: Sri Lanka

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on May 19 arrested four Sri Lankans with links to the banned outfit Islamic State (IS)

The Sri Lankan government on Monday said India will deal with the four Sri Lankan ISIS suspects arrested at Ahmedabad airport last week, while authorities here would probe if they have been party to any acts of terrorism in the island nation.

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on May 19 arrested four Sri Lankans with links to the banned outfit Islamic State (IS) who were allegedly on a mission to carry out terror activities in India following the directions of their Pakistan-based handler.

“India would deal with them according to their law. Sri Lanka would investigate if they have been party to any acts of terrorism, or aided and abetted any group while being in Sri Lanka, and will deal with them according to our law,” Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe told reporters here.
