A claymore mine
planted along a road from Mahabage Junction to Ragama in Welisara, about
11 km from Colombo, near a naval camp, exploded injuring two civilians,
a bus driver and conductor of the Welisara depot.
Army spokesperson
Brig. Prasad Samarasinghe blamed the attack on the LTTE. It was carried
out around 4.00 am this morning (6/6) and was triggered by remote
control.
Brig. Samarasinghe
said they had recovered two detonators with their codes and the remote
control device used.
According to reports
a bus carrying naval personnel was scheduled to leave at that time. The
Navy website says the mine would have been planted late last night or
earlier this morning.
