Fourteen pressure mines, 21 bombs, one RPG launcher and four mortar ammunitions were unearthed by the police in the Illuppukadawai police division in Mannar this afternoon.

Police said the haul of ammunition was found in a deserted cesspit behind the Agrarian Services Department in Illuppukadawai on a tip off received by the Illuppukadawai Police Post.

They said the bombs were disposed by the army following the magisterial inquiry, which was conducted by the Mannar Magistrate.

A suicide kit, four claymore mines, three parcels of C4 explosives and ammunition were also found in a house in Vallakulam, Chavakachcheri this morning on information received by the Jaffna police. (Ajith Siriwardana)

    You don't believe in equality, simple as that. And any underworld activity also will be stereotyped as 'Tamil' and terrorism. Plus you don't believe that an ethnic issue existed that requires reconciliation. Shame on you.

    We must appreciate the Tamil people , for giving correct information to police. It a good move but .GL gives to media.

    What political, this is the truth. Should tight security and have search operations again.

    Zero casualties? You really swallow that BS? Wow. You must be living in a dream world if you think there's such a thing as war with "zero casualties". Wake up.

    Once in a while they must find the lost gold also hidden here and there.

    The solution - Relese more LTTTE terorists from the jails

    Jagath Leanage Thursday, 31 March 2016 08:09 AM

    All of a sudden, ammunitions are coming out like mushrooms.

    Mandy Thursday, 31 March 2016 08:07 AM

    Regret comments. How does one know if these are old caches of LTTE stuff left over 6 years. Do not blame yahapalanaya but commend it for discovering them.

    Henry Thursday, 31 March 2016 01:31 AM

    Should think twice in withdrawing forces from previous conflict areas and also on Indian aided Airport expansion plans,

    Before long country will be finished

    Lal Thursday, 31 March 2016 06:31 AM

    Some people in the north scavenging and selling of LTTE weapons isn't a threat

    Kolla Thursday, 31 March 2016 06:30 AM

    LTTE is not tamil terrorists and these old weapons are being scavenged so they can be sold or smuggled to foreign terrorists

    Bala Thursday, 31 March 2016 04:52 AM

    Please tell us if this is current material or old stuff by 6 years and left over from LTTE of years ago.

    Didi Thursday, 31 March 2016 04:05 AM

    Ex-LTTE weapons are scavenged and sold to the underworld and even smuggled overseas terrorists

    rohan Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:14 AM

    whats the hell is happening whats Yahapalanaya doing to this once peaceful country Sri Lanka is the only country who had zero casualties after a long war. its thanks to the proactive measures MRs government had. Now you guys lockup the soldiers and dissolved army intelligence via DM Android App

    saman Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:48 AM

    In the name of so called reconciliation, this dud government has given a second change to the Tamil terrorists to thrive on the back of diaspora money. 27,000 of our boys gave their lives to restore peace in SL and this spineless lot has taken that away in a flash! Enjoy yapahaalana thing people!
