Fonseka led the army's successful offensive to end the island's decadeslong ethnic conflict, but later fell out with President Mahinda Rajapakse andthe defence secretary.
He resigned last month, accusing the government of sidelining him, and is now attempting to unseat President Rajapakse in elections on January 26.

Sri Lankan authorities have resisted international calls for a war crimes investigation amid allegations by the United Nations that more than 7,000civilians were killed during the first four months of this year alone.
Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara declined to reply to Fonseka's remarks.
"This is a comment given by General Fonseka and he will come out with many more," Nanayakkara said. "We will not comment on what he says."
The military claimed victory over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on May 18 after wiping out the leadership of the oncepowerfulmovement, which began its armed struggle for an independent Tamil homeland in 1972.
Velupillai Prabhakaran, the group's founder, was killed in fighting and his body shown on national television.
During the war's finale, the United States and other Western nations voiced alarm at Sri Lanka's treatment of noncombatants, along with its internmentafterwards of some 130,000 Tamil civilians.
