Sri Lankan Police recovered a haul of high explosives stashed near the Wilpattu national park in Wanathawilluwa in Puttalam District of North Western Province on January 17 following the arrest of four men from a newly formed radical Muslim group, reports Economy Next. Police said in a statement that "Following information received by the CID (Criminal Investigations Department), they found 100 kilos (220 pounds) of high explosives and 100 detonators." Official sources said the discovery was made during investigations into recent hate attacks against Buddha statues elsewhere in the country in an apparent attempt to spark tensions between majority Buddhists and minority Muslims. "The information we have at the moment is that a radicalised local group of Muslims are behind the explosives seized on Thursday [January 17]," an official said. "We are trying to see if they had any links with extremists abroad." There have been no attacks in Sri Lanka linked to foreign Islamist groups despite local media reports that a 37-year-old Sri Lankan had been killed in Syria in 2015 while fighting for Islamic State (IS) group. The latest discovery of explosives in the North Western Province of the island on January 17 is one of the biggest finds since the country ended its decades-long war against Tamil separatists in 2009.
