Colombo - The remains of 84 Iranian sailors killed when their frigate was torpedoed off Sri Lanka earlier this month will be repatriated on Friday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Thushara Rodrigo said.


"All domestic procedures have been completed, and the Iranians are bringing a chartered aircraft for the repatriation," Rodrigo told AFP.


"The 32 sailors who were rescued by our navy will remain in Sri Lanka."
