Two close associates of suicide bomber 'Rilwan' who was killed in the explosions at Sainthamaruthu were arrested in Batticaloa today.
The suspects were arrested in the Kattankudy, Batticaloa at a leading supermarket by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). They have been identified as residents of Vauvnathivu.
