It is interesting that Danuna continues to evade capture despite the large amount of state resources and personnel from the armed forces and police that have been allocated to the task of his capture. Danuna is known to be a resourceful and intelligent man and is also believed to be quite fit, being a former school rowing champion. He is also believed to have the support of large groups within the armed forces, who are loyal to General Sarath Fonseka and also to his father, Brigadier T G Tillakaratne a distinguished former officer of the Sri Lanka Army.
