WARDEN MESSAGE: SRI LANKA COASTAL AREA RESIDENTS ADVISED TO EVACUATE
U.S. Embassy Colombo released the following Warden Message on November 28:
Today at approximately 8:25am a female suicide bomber detonated a suicide vest inside the Ministry of Social Affairs in the immediate proximity of the office of Minister Douglas Devananda (EPDP), Isipatana Lane, Narahenpita in Colombo 05. In addition to the bomber, two other people were killed and at least three others were treated for minor wounds. Police and military personnel have cordoned off the area.
The Embassy reminds American citizens to continue to be aware of their surroundings and vigilant about their personal security. As always, Americans are advised to be on alert when visiting government facilities and high-profile public venues. Americans should also continue to avoid military installations, military convoys traveling on the roads and, where possible, government buildings, as they have in the past been targets for LTTE violence. There are likely to be traffic disruptions as Sri Lankan security forces increase their security checks.
Americans are again reminded to cooperate fully with Sri Lankan security forces as they implement increased security measures.
For additional information, please refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad” found at http://travel.state.gov. Americans living or traveling in Sri Lanka are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website.

U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State’s latest consular information sheet for Sri Lanka and the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, both available at http://travel.state.gov. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the United States or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.
