Four fishermen accused of smuggling explosives were produced in the Jaffna court Thursday. Police told the court that the four were arrested at the CeyNor Jetty in Gurunagar, a coastal suburb of the northern town, with four 250 gram packets of TNT and four detonators.

Police objected granting the fishermen bail as they had allegedly been found with explosives.

The judge remanded the four fishermen until 19 July, pending further inquiries.
