Six Tamils were arrested in the Katunayake high security zone in a cordon and search operation conducted by the police Saturday evening. Police took them into custody as they were seen loitering close to the Katunayake airbase, sources in Colombo said.

The arrested are being interrogated as they failed to prove their identity and justify the reason for the presence in the location, police sources said.
