A special search operation carried out by the Navy at the Gurunagar Jetty, Jaffna this morning led to the recovery of over one kg of TNT high explosives and one feet and three-inch-long safety fuse, Navy said.
The recovery was made by SLNS Welusumana in the Northern Naval Command, after searching a nearby thicket of Gurunagar Jetty this morning. Accordingly, naval personnel found a suspicious parcel in shrubs and recovered one kg and 950g of TNT high explosives and 03 ft and 04-inch-long safety fuse in it.
