Maligawatte mine defused
Saturday, 9 June 2007 - 4:52 AM SL Time

A claymore mine weighing about 10 kilos was recovered from Maligawatte yesterday morning, police said.

They said the claymore mine wrapped in polythene was found placed near a street lamp post at Jayantha Weerasekara Mawatha.

Maligawatte police Inspector N.M.Karunaratne said they believed the LTTE might have left it there to carry out an attack.

The Bomb Disposal Unit that defused the claymore mine said it contained high powered explosives.

Police commended the public for their vigilance by providing information to the police.

Some tamils living in lodges in Colombo may have done this. We must fix servelliance cameras in public places so that we can minimize these types of destructions or attemps.

Perhaps Sinhalese Tigers were responsible for this, has anyone thought of that?.........The question then arises, how do you distinguish who is a Sinhalese Tiger and who isn't?????!!!

Dear kankun.

I too think the same. Why would LTTE keep a claymore mine near a lamp post down jayantha weerasekara mw. Knowing soon some one will see this and inform authorities.

This surely is a inside job and blaming it on the LTTE. I dont think they would waste like we wasted a armoured tank, and for the government it's pea nuts.

Joke of the day. LTTE keeps a landmine on a busy street near a lamp post so that no one could find. Ah...Ah...Ah...
