| #2 More Info At least 14 people were killed and 46 others, including the minister, were wounded in the blast. This is the first suicide attack in Matara, the southernmost region and populated overwhelmingly by the majority Sinhala community. The minister was later airlifted to Colombo National Hospital where he underwent an emergency surgery. "He is still in the intensive care unit (ICU), but his condition is getting better. His condition is certainly a lot better than yesterday (Tuesday) after the surgery," director of the Colombo National Hospital accident service, Hector Weerasinghe told IANS Wednesday. The defence ministry said Wednesday that the suicide bomber "had arrived at the place on a push-bike and exploded himself among the Islamic devotees going to the mosque in a procession". "Among the deceased and injured were several local government representatives," the defence ministry said. Tuesday's suicide attack came as the military was in the final phase of recapturing the last strongholds of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which has now been boxed into a land stretch of less than 40 square km in the north-eastern Mullaitivu district. |
