Whever some arms cache is found - planted or otherwise - that is given wide publicity but so far, the government is quiet on the gold and cash found from LTTE hide-outs. Can someone account for those too?

Is this news the truth, or just releasing of some cooked up discovery, preparing the masses for something bad news?

What has happened to the container load of gold jewelery detected just after the conclusion of the war?. Very recently SF queried the matter in the Parliament but not replied.

Another gimmick by showing the government's old weapons to turn the attention away from SF issue. Public are no fools.
