Stock Of Explosives Recovered From Mannar
Police on Wednesday recovered a stock of explosives in Mannar, hours after a suicide jacket and a stock of explosives were discovered at Chavakachcheri in the north.
Several explosives including small bombs and a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher were discovered from an abandoned well in Mannar in the north after police had conducted a search operation in the area.
The explosives are believed to have been hidden by the Tamil Tiger rebels during the war period.
Recovery of arms in the North has sparkled concerns from opposition parliamentarians that the Tamil Tiger rebels may try to regroup.
