President Ranil Wickremesinghe's decision to appoint a committee headed by a judge to investigate claims that Sri Lankan intelligence had a hand in the bombings that were carried out by Islamic militants came under pressure from opposition lawmakers, religious leaders, activists as well as the victims' relatives. They say that previous probes failed to reveal the truth behind the bombings.
