NewsSri Lanka's High Commissioner in Malaysia Ibrahim Ansar has been discharged from hospital after treatment for injuries sustained in a violent attack launched on him within the country's international airport, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said. It also remains a question how high-security CCTV footage recorded by the airport authorities was released to the public so quickly after the incident, which took place on Sunday afternoon. Towards the end, the 59-second shot also shows one of the men videoing the attack on High Commissioner. The Sri Lanka Government has expressed strong displeasure at the Government of Malaysia for failing to provide protection to the High Commissioner amidst three days of protests by pro-LTTE demonstrators. Sri Lanka's Secretary to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the High Commissioner to the Ministry Foreign Affairs on Monday to express condemnation of the assault.
