Sri Lankan police have unearthed an LTTE plot to assassinate President Chandrika Kumaratunga during the election campaign.
Investigators probing the July 24 attack on the main air force base at Katunayake and adjoining international airport have recovered evidence from a safe-house used by the rebels in Negombo town in the vicinity of the airport, the state-run 'Daily News' on Friday quoted police and CID as saying.
The plan was confirmed when sketches showing the lay-outs of the official residence of the President and a high-security conference hall here were recovered by a police Special Task Force during an operation to destroy an LTTE camp in the east, the report said.
