5 killed in bomb blast near Sri Lanka's capital, doctor says
The Associated PressPublished: May 28, 2007
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka: Five people have been killed in a bomb blast near Sri Lanka's capital, the military and a physician said.
Lt. Col. Upali Rajapakse of the Defense Ministry information center said a truck carrying police commandos to the capital was hit by the blast in Ratmalana, a suburb of capital, Colombo.
He blamed the Tamil Tiger rebels for the blast.
Dr. W.G. Gunawardena said 25 people were brought to his hospital for treatment, and five of them died.
It is immediately not clear whether those killed were police commandos or civilians.
Rajapakse had said earlier that at least 15 civilians were among the wounded.
The blast comes as part of a worsening separatist conflict in Sri Lanka that has killed 5,000 people in the past 18 months, shattering a 5-year-old, Norway-brokered cease-fire viewed as the best opportunity to solve the two-decade crisis.
Last Thursday, a bomb blast blamed on Tamil Tiger rebels in the heart of the capital of Colombo killed one soldier and wounded six people.
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam rebels have fought the government since 1983 to carve out a separate homeland for the country's 3.1 million ethnic minority Tamils who have suffered decades of discrimination by the majority Sinhalese-dominated state.
About 70,000 people have been killed in the two-decade conflict.
