"We are trying to see if they had any links with extremists abroad."- <a href="https://economynext.com/Sri_Lanka_seize_explosives_from_local_Islamist_radicals-3-13176-10.html" target="_blank">https://economynext.com/Sri_Lanka_seize_explosives_from_local_Islamist_radicals-3-13176-10.html</a></blockquote>
