Colombo Archbishop Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith has reportedly requested President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa to publicize the report of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCOI) probing Easter Sunday attacks.

Cardinal Ranjith has told the President that the public has been made aware of the content of the report which probed into the deadly terror attacks.

Top political sources said the report had recommended legal action against several top political and defence figures in the previous administration including former President Maithripala Sirisena and former Prime Mnister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

It is also learnt that the report is yet to be handed over to the Attorney General to initiate legal action those responsible for the security lapses leading to the attacks.
