Another truck with over 1000 kg explosives found

SL naval troops acting on civilian information uncovered an explosive laden vehicle intended for a high profile suicide mission by the LTTE, yesterday (29). The lorry was laden with C-4 high explosives weighing over 1,000 kilogrammes.

"The explosives-laden Freezer truck was found from the Padikkiya fishing village in Trincomalee following a tip-off," a senior defence official said.

Initial inquires indicated that the explosives were packed inside the lorry, similar to the previous lorry found at Kotavehera in Kurunegala early this month (01st, June). The official said explosives were defused and one suspect was taken into custody.

According to the defence officials further information were not available as investigations were under-way.
