“Seven die in Sri Lanka bus attack”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A roadside bomb has hit a bus in northern Sri Lanka, killing seven people and injuring 26, security officials say.

The bus hit a mine outside the town of Vavuniya, 250 km (155 miles) north of the capital, Colombo.

Vavuniya is the last government-held garrison town before territory held by the separatist Tamil Tigers, who are suspected of carrying out the attack.

The Tigers have denied responsibility, and blame the military for the bombing.

The injured - including seven soldiers - have been admitted to local hospitals.”
