Sri Lankan police recovered 14 motor bombs in the area of Omanthai, Vavuniya last week.
A resident in the area noticed suspicious objects in the well, and informed the Omanthai police.
Following this lead, the police and Sri Lankan Special Task Force (STF) troops retrieved and defused the 14 motor bombs.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
