A Tamil Tiger suicide bomber blew herself up near the office of a minority Tamil minister in the Sri Lankan capital on Wednesday, killing his personal secretary, officials said.
Two other people were wounded in the blast, one seriously, but no senior officials were hurt, a hospital official said. It was the latest in a series of rebel attacks.

The blast occurred near the office of Douglas Devananda, minister for social welfare and a former militant. He once fought alongside the Tigers before turning to politics in the 1980s and has escaped several assassination bids by the rebels.

`It was a suicide mission by the LTTE,` an officer of the elite police Special Task Force said, asking not to be named in line with policy. `The body of the female LTTE suicide cadre is at the scene.`

Did the suicide bomber came in Tiger uniform ? How did they identify her as LTTE.

It is strange that there are so many abductions, Arson, Killings take place in Colombo, and still noone is arrested or under suspicion. But for some incidents the next minute police say it is LTTE. Only happens in Srilanka.

Are the police idiots or the Sri lankans are idiots. No wonder when people like AnuD and others police will say even more. Cheer up MODA cheer leader, get your team up and cheer. (and don't forget to call me Fat Rani, when you don't have any facts this is all you can say)

This is all the tigers could do.

Sneaking among the people and kill an innocent.

Not very enterprising.

How about Air force, fly above and drop 18 bombs to attack one radio station and killing some innocent people as well. Bombing from above and killing people is not terrorism in your dictionary.
