Human remains have been uncovered in Muhamaalai, in the Northeast of the island, for a third consecutive day on Friday, reported the Uthayan.
Palai police announced that it was arranging for excavations to be conducted in the region, where they have now found three skeletons and more human remains, thought to be those of LTTE fighters.
Work to clear the area of vegetation has already begun, with a land mine removal team also deployed.
Bones, grenades and bullet casings were also found in the town on the Jaffna peninsula, which used to be a major checkpoint to enter territory under Tamil control before 2009.
The Uthayan previously reported that the remains were identified as those of female LTTE cadres from the Sothiya Regiment and the Malathi Regiment, using the fighters' metal tags, with their regimental identification numbers.
