Special Police Team To Investigate Missing Sri Lankan Cartoonist-Journalist

According to a quick note in the Daily Mirror, Sri Lankan police officials have given into public entreaties and have assigned a special team to investigate the disappearance last week of political cartoonist and journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda. The team's first step will be to look at the private cell phone numbers utilized by the missing man. Eknaligoda was kidnapped for several hours in August of last year, a move that once released the victim couldn't say if it was an attempt to intimidate him or a case of mistaken identity. That Eknaligoda went missing right before today's elections was both a sign of special concern for international journalism groups and an initial excuse by local official not to have the manpower to devote to the case.
