An LTTE
suspect who is alleged to have smuggled explosives to Colombo hidden in television sets
was arrested yesterday in Perattasi Estate, Pussellawa. The
27-year-old suspect coming from Battacaloa is alleged to have planted a 5 kg bomb on
the rail track at Radella targeting the night mail to Badulla about a
month ago. Police
said that the he had transported the explosives hidden inside TV sets on
several occasions and handed them over to a Tiger leader in Colombo. It was
revealed during the investigations that the Tiger suspect had worked in a
barber saloon in Grandpass and when police cordoned off the area for a
search operation he had managed to escape to his native place in
Batticaloa with an accomplice called Ravi. When the
two were returning to Colombo, Ravi was arrested at a Welikanda
police check point but the newly arrested suspect had managed to slip through to the
estate where he was arrested.
