While four suicide jackets were allegedly recovered from his possession, the man jumped to death from the 7th floor apartment. On Wednesday, police acting on a tip-off by intelligence units, recovered explosives in Colombo that could have caused major destruction. Police spokesman S S P Ranjith Gunasekara said the explosives were found buried in a garage in the city. He said 18 claymore mines weighing 7.5 kilograms each and 2 Walkie-talkies were among the items recovered. One person was arrested in connection with the recovery and further investigation is on, Gunasekara said.<a href="http://www.ptinews.com/pti%5Cptisite.nsf/0/6668DAD245898DA6652575B70044E33C?OpenDocument" target="_blank">PTI</a></blockquote>
