Meanwhile, security forces (SFs) recovered a sophisticated Thermo Baric weapon left behind by the fleeing LTTE cadres in the Verugal area of Trincomalee district, according to Colombo Page. Thermo baric weapons, banned in warfare for its deadly effects, function by first expelling a cloud of explosive mist using a small charge, then igniting it with a second charge. The weapons create a huge pressure wave which effectively destroys almost everything within minutes. During a search operation, the military was able to find this weapon along with three disposable rocket propelled grenades, 1,250 rounds of 5.6-mm x 22 LR ammunition, 5,300 rounds of 5.56-mm x 45 ammunition and 2,130 rounds of pistol bullets.
