Sri Lanka Premier says another truck with 1,000 kilos of explosives is out there

Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister Rathnasiri Wickramanayaka today said that LTTE had sent another truck with over 1,000 kilograms of explosives, a week after police found a truck with over 1,000 kilograms of C-4 explosives packed inside 42 boxes.

“We are searching for another lorry, which can cause a major damage,” the Premier said without giving nay details.

The Police on June 01 arrested a truck with 1,052 kilograms of C-4 explosives carefully hidden in the truck under a pile of coconuts at a Police checkpoint in Kurunegala District.

"The explosives in that truck were enough to blow up half of Colombo," the PM said.
