“The relevant information further notes that persons dressed in military uniforms and using a van could be involved in the attacks,” the letter said. It said the militants were targeting five locations for attacks on Sunday or Monday. ALERT : The Government Intelligence Service has received information on an attack targeting the Buddhist temples by the National Thawheeth Jamaath (NTJ), using female bombers. Authorities suspect members of two little known groups - National Thawheedh Jamaath (NTJ) and Jammiyathul Millathu Ibrahim - of carrying out those attacks, though Islamic State has claimed responsibility. Two cabinet ministers and two opposition lawmakers confirmed to Reuters that they were aware of the latest security alert.
