The Sri Lankan prime minister on Wednesday called for a probe into 40kg of missing gold from a total of 150kg of gold taken by the Sri Lankan military from Tamils home during the armed conflict as hundreds of thousands had to flee their homes.
"There are discrepancies. There are conflicting accounts of what happened to the gold. We must investigate this," Mr Wickremesinghe was quoted by the AFP as saying.
Tamil political parties have long called for the looted gold to be returned to its rightful owners.
