A cache of explosives was recovered by the Talathuoya Police in the Victoria Reserve, near the 16th post of the Kandy Haguranketha main road.

During the search operation they recovered a 40mm grenade launcher, nine LMG bullets, a 50mm anti-aircraft ammunition and three live grenades.

According to Police, the investigations have revealed that an individual had discreetly brought these explosives to the location some time ago.

In response to this alarming discovery, the police promptly contacted officials from the Amkote Special Task Force camp.

Together, they have taken immediate measures to defuse the explosives, ensuring the safety of the surrounding area and its residents. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Go deep and look for the motive and the conspirators behind this before another disaster. Do not do a shallow fishing under political pressure.

Startling revelations, is there any conspiracy to attack any selected target, through instigation should be made to prevent any would be attacks, human life is precious, no more July 1983 nor Easter Sunday attacks.

To divert people's anger after Channel 4 revelation, something is being planned by certain vested interests. People should be prudent.

Now MR knew that RW can't help Namal to be the next PM and started his usual game against RW using his thugs - this is Game (1) One by MR. Not joking.

Another new story by the UNP-Potuwa Government to postpone the Election. That's all nothing to panic.

So the blame will go either JVP or LTTE, this is the normal scenario but the truth is this is the work of Ranil and Mahinda.

That area was infested by subversives in 87/88 period. May be a comeback to wrestle power since elections are not being held!

New methods are being strategised to disrupt the peace in the country. We need a better mechanism in punishing culprits found guilty so that no one in the future will attempt to create chaos in the country since there are many law delays and punishment and these culprits capitalize on the lethargy of enforcement.

Those commenting are going in one direction. Never underestimate the minds of terrorists. To say that someone is doing this to gain power is totally bullshit.
