Abstract

The evasive methods deployed by the British intelligence agencies in Sri Lanka have a dubious history dating back to the infancy stage of British establishment in the country in the 19th century. British influence in post-colonial Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, was not completely removed after independence in 1948. On the contrary, British aid was frequently extended to the governments in power in Colombo. The shadowy involvement of British intelligence was apparent in the Colombo government's response to a communist group's insurrection in 1971. British intelligence officers also facilitated counter-insurgency training of Sri Lankan police officers in Malaya. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
