Police recovered a cache of arms from a piggery at Pamunugama Negombo that had been smuggled by the LTTE in a bid to attack some key targets in Colombo, Military spokesman Prasad Samarasinghe told the Sunday Observer.

The police had recovered 8 grenades, one T 56 weapon and 135 rounds of ammunition.

Sixteen suspects have already been taken into police custody.

The police raided this place on a tip off from the public.
