Police today discovered a suicide kit, along with several other explosives including several claymore mines, and over 10 kilos of C4 explosives in a house in Chavakachcheri.
The explosives were discovered following a tip off received by the police.
The owner of the house had reportedly fled, but a team from the Special Task Force has launched a search operation.
Police believe that the explosives may have been hidden in the house during the war. However, investigations are being carried out.

Looks like Gota and his troops are back with old tricks of occupation confiscation and murder. Obama is weak at the present moment.
This happens the same day as the egypt airport fiasco.
The nation is being pawned because of excessive SLR printing, export prices low so next thing start ethnic cleansing like the russians or chinese during WW2 with american aid.

Fukashima, keep blaming Rajapakse. But this is sign that taking the foot off the serpen’s neck is definitely going to lead it to strike back.
Prepare for bus bombs, split family journeys and other terror driven life soon.
Fools are destroyed by their mouths, remember Fukashima.

‘taking the foot off the serpen’s neck is definitely going to lead it to strike back’
Totally agree with you. MS and RW will pay dearly if they do not restrain the Rajapakse thugs. What are they waiting for ? Until it is too late ?
According to a news item, MS, RW and Ruwan W has been warned of a suicide mission when MS visited Jaffna during thaipongal. It has been conspired by Rajapakse relative retired Major General Lohan Gunawardena.

You are really clever aren’t you.
The suicide jacket is rapped in Sinhala News paper.
Is it also part of LTTE’s cunning plan to implicate Sinhalese in this unsolved plot?

I don’t take sides and I am not a villager. I observed Gotas last days especially after Cameron visit. Don’t tell me Sinhalese Buddhist as saints because i as a kid saw JVP in action and know more than you on that matter.
That sinhala newspaper is dated?? The papers also exhibit more than a claymore mines another 12 items and that the owner plus his wife are now in custody- the reason for raid was- ganga heroin tip off. who does heroin from pakistan but PM’s buddha Sassana office.
If MR2 can call in the Japanese and Germans for a small issue why doesn’t he call forensic from the west??
Stupid pirates of the land doing shape shape.

How long this Singhalese people are going to continue this off dated tricks – planting drugs, bombs and find them later. This country will never develop or become civilised. If educated intelligent Singhalese to put a stop to this nuisance , they have to start a war crime investigation immediately and clean all MR and Gotha gang. Singhalese have to stop building Buddha statues where there is no Buddhist and try to understand religious preaching. If you can’t change and behave like humans, leave Tamils alone to live piece fully, then the cunning politicians couldn’t survive and the country will improve – no one is prepared to believe this news, modias.

“Sinhalese have to stop making Buddha statutes where there’re no Buddhists………………..”
There’re Buddhists in every parts of our country, may be one of your family members without your knowledge. Some Buddhists can’t tell it in public. Your husband/wife/children/friends may be Buddhists but they can’t tell you if you’re foolishly having faith in an unseen god.
This is the reality. So develop tolerance. Don’t be angry with Buddha statues;
And vice versa,
That’s why i think Buddhists don’t complain about other religious statutes.

No one will keep a “suicide kit” knowing well that he will be arrested.
It has obviously been planted – by the police (who are experts at this game), or by the army (who wish to prolong their occupation of the north).
I remember the story of ex-LTTErs searching for buried LTTE arms caches using stolen mine detectors.

“The caption should have been ‘Suicide Kit Conveniently Found In Chavakachcheri’.”
Is the army trying to send a message to the president and prime-minister given that both have made contradictory statements regarding War Crime investigation and foreign judges.
The recent Samaraweera-Gallage verbal exchanges of views on the composition of panel of investigators and the discovery of various items which are left to be discovered in the North makes one wonder whether these two independent events are related to each other, – or have one missed the timing difference between the two.
/
paul / March 31, 2016
Vedda, the public will be the last to know the truth of these matters. It could be a warning from the military or it could be MR’s thugs trying to show that the government has let the LTTE regroup. It could be the government trying to create fear to justify a clampdown on the media. It could be anyone. Who can we trust?

being ex forces perhaps you can verify this media report and put this to rest.
A stock of explosives including several Johnny mines and a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher have been recovered from a well at Iluppukadavai in Mannar, police spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekara said. This is the second discovery of an arms cache within 24 hours as police this morning announced that a suicide jacket and explosives were recovered from a house in Chavakachcheri, Jaffna District. Police officers had discovered a suicide jacket, 4 Claymore mines, 3 parcels containing around 12kg of TNT, 2 packets of 9mm ammo (100 bullets) and 2 battery packs used to detonate the claymore mines at the residence in Maravanpulo on the A32 road.

Paul,
Judging by your comments on CT, are you one of those “Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the He-brews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.” (Philippians 3:5-6) as the other famous historical fake ‘Paul the Apostle’ who acted to destroy Christianity with the Church?
May you bear God’s curse.

So in whose house was it discovered? What was their background? No real data worth gripping here, just material that could have come from LTTE remnants, from the army quarantine dep or from sworn enemies of the government trying to prove that the government has no resolve and back bone to sort out security. Namal was quick to point fingers at the last, so best to interview him first to see if he has any complicity to the effect.

You may be onto something.
The former members of the Pottu Amman department switched sides after the end of war.
They seemed loyal to Gota than the army.

Before the war end Leader Pirapaharan wrapped the Jacket in a Sinhala Newspaper and to Gobi II? This is not a Tamil Kottiya’s work; It is the work of Sinhala Kottiyas(army), who wrapped the jacket in an Sinhala Newspaper.
Now they have caught Gobi-II. This what the UNP doing in Vidya case too. They are beating up a man to tell at the court that Vidya was murdered because of a love affair. The Man’s mother is begging the NGOs to get him out.

Don’t panic and run into wrong conclusions, as this matter is in the hands of law enforcement officers and let us wait for their report.
The police dept. is independent now, unlike in the previous regime and we are sure to get the truth out of this incident.As some one suggested
check the date on the Sinhala newspaper used to wrap the suicide kit and try and find, in which area this paper was sold, by soliciting the help of the printer and these investigations may lead to a clue.
It is also possible that these items are remnants of confiscated LTTE arsenal and stacked in a house to discredit the Govt.security agencies
and the Govt. as a whole. As the time pass, the noose is tightening around some necks of people involved in war crimes as UN is pressur-
izing the Govt.to start the hearing early on those who violated human rights during the war and keen on having experienced judges with know -weldge in handling war crime tribunals.It looks like UN is not giving in easily on this matter and possible they may be take the case to Hauge. So, some one must start something like this to distract the people and try and get the UN investigations halted, with spread of communal cry.

but one is certain Stephen Harper weeded out most of terror is spectacular style.
On a day that I passed by canada conducted 200 raids on somali raids.
I was told by white canadians that most of the Lankan Tamil dropout gangs that loitered market places had vanished too.
Tell us that lanka is broke MR1 has printed excess SLR and is now pawning the island to India and China by the billions. But China is now careful.
So you better worry about it than your hyped US$ 2000 which is pea nuts.
