A suspected Tamil Tiger rebel suicide bomber blew up near a vehicle carrying police in a northern Sri Lankan town Sunday, killing a civilian and wounding eight others, the military said.
Military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said four police in the vehicle, three soldiers on duty nearby and a civilian bystander were wounded in the blast in the town of Vavuniya.
Nanayakkara said it was still unknown whether the bomber, who was also killed, was a man or a woman.
Rebel officials could not be reached for comment, but the insurgents have made suicide bombings a hallmark of their 25-year struggle against the government to create an independent homeland for ethnic minority Tamils.
The rebels, banned as a terrorist group in the United States and European Union, are said to have carried out more than 240 suicide bombings against military, political and economic targets.
The blast came a day after a wave of fighting in Sri Lanka`s civil war killed 25 Tamil Tiger rebels and five soldiers, according to the military.
Nanayakkara said the worst fighting Saturday broke out when troops pushing toward the rebel stronghold of Kilinochchi battled with guerrillas in Akkarayankulam village. The fighting killed 12 insurgents and five soldiers, he said.
Separate clashes in Jaffna, Vavuniya and Welioya killed another 13 rebels and wounded several soldiers, he said.
Rebel officials could not be reached for comment because most communication lines to the north have been cut.
It is difficult to verify military reports because journalists are barred from the northern war zone.
The government has vowed to retake all rebel areas by the end of this year and says its troops are just three miles (4.5 kilometers) from Kilinochchi.

| A Sinhalese soldier would have helped the suicide bomber with the required information just for a bottle of 'Kashippu' |

When Schizo prabha is running for his life with the LTTE goons, these brain washed suicide carders are left with one option, blow them selves up .
When looking at the posts of Tamil members of this forum ,one can arrive at the conclusion that the suicide carders of LTTE are worst of all Tamil oxymorons who do not have independent thinking capabilities at all, compared to Tamil LNP members who still has a little bit left, though still belong to the same group of oxymorons .
The difference is that suicide carders are trained and brain washed with Tamil crap extensively in Vanni , where as LNP Tamil members get only the training to survive on Tamil crap. |
