2006-10-16 |
Police say at least 67 security personnel have been killed and another 60 wounded in a suicide bombing against a naval convoy in north-eastern Sri Lanka. They say a truck packed with bombs has exploded at a transit point for security personnel going on leave and those returning to their posts in the restive Trincomalee district. "Suicide bombers drove a truck packed with explosives into the area, where there were about 15 buses of sailors," a police spokesperson said. "We have two helicopters to evacuate the wounded." Police suspect Tamil Tiger rebels carried out the bombing. |
