Suicide Blast in Colombo
There's been yet another suicide bombing in Colombo, Sri Lanka— this one near the Hilton in the center of the city. (I ate there once in 1994— not a very memorable experience.)
Ironically, President Mahinda Rajapakse accused the LTTE of "cowardice and brutality," something that could equally be applied to the government and its air strikes on civilian areas.
This particular bombing took place as riot police were preparing for an opposition demonstration against the recently elected pro-Karuna (anti-LTTE) government in the Eastern province.
