Explosive-packed truck found in Sri Lanka
Be they Moose-limbs or Tamils, bombings are getting frequent, and tiresome.
COLOMBO — Sri Lanka’s navy found about 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) of explosives in a truck and arrested a person nearby, in whatmay have been a planned attack by Tamil Tiger rebels.

Sailors found the explosive-laden truck parked in a fishing village near the eastern port town of Trincomalee, 215 kilometers (135 miles) northeast of the capital, Colombo, a top navy official said on condition of anonymity, citing restrictions from his command. One person was arrested nearby, the official said, adding that the navy believes the Tamil Tiger rebels may have prepared the truck for an attack.
Brilliant, fellows, brilliant, how do you do it?
Attempts to contact Tiger officials for comment were unsuccessful.
Go figure.
Early this month police said they stopped a truck containing about the same amount of explosives in the northwestern village of Nikaweratiya, heading off a possible suicide attack.

The Tigers have in the past driven explosive-packed trucks into military and economic targets in suicide attacks, causing massive damage.
