Sri Lankan court further remands Sinhalese Tigers

The Colombo High Court has refused to grant bail to the 23 Sinhala persons arrested for planning and abetting LTTE attacks against Sri Lankan citizens.
Dismissing a request made by the suspects, the Colombo Magistrate said he has no authority to grant bail and informed them to make the request from a higher court. The suspects were further remanded until January 30.
The Police’s Terrorists Investigation Division (TID) has informed the courts that the investigations on the suspects are complete and the reports are being sent to the Justice Department.
Earlier last year, a group of trade union activists and journalists were arrested along with a large stock of weapons following a sting operation carried out by military intelligence.
