Interpol has warned local intelligence agencies that the Taliban is operating within Sri Lanka.
Interpol, which is now in touch with Sri Lankan authorities on this matter, is of the belief that the international terrorist organization is using Sri Lanka as an easy transit point to Middle East and other Asian countries.
Intelligence services also believe that some Taliban members have entered the country using forged documents.
They are also believed to be engaged in smuggling and other illegal activities with the cooperation of locals in Colombo and Kattankudy areas.
