A Mullaitivu court today remanded 12 Tamils, arrested over their alleged involvement in the finding of an LTTE flag and ammunition in Oddusudan in June, until September 17.
Nine Tamils were initially arrested in relation to the incident. Last week a former LTTE cadre and father of three, from Santhapuram, and another Tamil man from Mallavi were arrested. One man who was wanted by the TID reportedly surrendered on August 29.
Sri Lanka's Terrorism Investigation Division (TID), who has been conducting the inquiry in July sought information regarding babies born in May at Kilinochchi hospital, claiming that it would help with the inquiry.
