Credit to the security forces for being vigilant even after war. Let us hope this is just another ploy of politics, and not an actual threat.

We are already aware of a Plan by MR stooges in the Military to ferment trouble in the country. This might be one of those acts. Military Intelligence is on FULL ALERT to these type of moves.

good job by the forces. even after the war victory hings like this happen. so mahinda supporters should not be so happy about it. even when mahindas last two years forces found so many things like these. credit should be go to forces for finding them before they do any harm.

MR's gone to Chavakachcheri and planted this. This is all propaganda against our Yahapalana Govt. I take presidents' word when it comes to our national security. After all he has never betrayed anyone in his life. *Sarcasm*
