A sanitation worker has found a pistol bullet near a restroom situated within the high security zone of the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA), Katunayake.

The worker has handed the bullet over to the security forces officials on the day before yesterday (25).

This has been found in the passenger transit area.

Airport officials said that any such live ammunition should be screened by high-security scanners at the airport, but the manner in which it was left at the restroom remains a mystery.

A separate Colonel has been deployed for the affairs of all intelligence units including Air Force Intelligence, State Intelligence, Narcotics Bureau, Terrorist Investigation Division and Army Intelligence but no information has been found of this bullet.

The security forces suspect that the bullet may belong to a member of the airport security forces.
