Roadside bombs kill 1 civilian, wound 2 in northern Sri Lanka
 Two roadside bombs went off in northern Sri Lanka on Thursday, killing a newspaper vendor and wounding a soldier and a civilian, the military said. Military spokesman Brig. Prasad Samarasinghe blamed the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam for the consecutive blasts in Jaffna Peninsula, a predominantly Tamil area. Samarasinghe said the target of the bombs were a Sri Lankan military patrol, but that the first one killed a newspaper vendor. The second one wounded one soldier and one civilian, he said.
