Investigations carried out by the Analyst's Department have revealed that the bombs used in the attacks on a house in Kattankudy and the Jathika Peramuna party office in 2018 were similar to the bombs used in the bomb blasts on Easter Sunday terror attacks.

The Batticaloa Magistrate's Court yesterday (02) made submissions in this regard and further investigations are underway to ascertain the suspects involved in the incident, the Police Media Spokesman's Office stated.

The bombings took place in Kattankudy in February 2018 and further investigations have confirmed that they were time bombs.
