BBC have reported at least 24 people killed and about 50 wounded by a bombing on a bus in the outskirts of the Sri Lankan capital, Colombo, according to officials. The government has laid blame on the Tamil Tigers.
The escalation of the conflict between the government and the Tamil independence movement has also seen the rebel body uniquely employ its own air force. Only today there are reports that the Tamil Tigers have launched air attacks on north-east Sri Lanka, bombing military targets with light planes. This would be the fifth rebel aerial strike since the Tigers created the air force a year ago.
Todays attack is said to have caused no damage but would indicate the rebels have the coordinates of military targets. The development of the air force is itself a unique development in the conflict, which is said to have killed 70,000 people since the civil war began in 1983.
