Eight civilians in Wellawatta were injured in the mayhem that broke out following the LTTE aerial attack early last morning.
One of the injured persons, Tambaiah Aiyar Dharmapalan (50) of Fernando Rd, Wellawatta, explaining his harrowing experience to ?Daily Mirror? from his hospital bed at the Accident Ward of the Colombo South Hospital said, ?I was watching the Cricket World Cup final when lights went off around 1.30 a.m. with the sound of an explosion. It was pitch dark. I felt something hit on my chest and I even heard the sound of the object coming from the roof. I panicked when I felt I was bleeding and fainted. I came around only this morning at the hospital?
Kamala Devi, (45) of Havelock Rd, Colombo 6, from her bed at the accident ward of the Kalubowila Hospital said ?I was sleeping on the verandah last night when the electric bulb exploded and electricity went off. I felt a searing pain on my thigh. When I touched it I felt I was bleeding heavily. Then my husband opened the door and we herd gun fire every where.? ..
