Navy unearths arms haul


Items seized by the Navy in Illangathurai, Mohottivaram on Thursday.

The Navy during search operations in Illangathurai, Mohottivaram Thursday evening recovered 82mm mortar bombs.

Navy spokesman Captain D.P.K. Dassanayake said a Naval intelligence team conducting a search operation unearthed the 82 mm mortar bombs buried in Illangathurai, Mohottivaram on Thursday around 4.30pm.

The naval troops uncovered 513 of 82 mm mortar bombs, 270 of 82 mm mortar cartridges, 22 expelling charges, 24 RPG bombs, 150 pouches and three LTTE man packs carefully packed and buried in three plastic cans.

"We suspect that the arms' cache had been hidden by the LTTE prior to fleeing during the recently concluded humanitarian operations conducted by the Security Forces to liberate the East," he added.
