US Strongly Condemns Weliweriya terrorist attack
The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack on April 6 in Weliweriya, Gampaha District that claimed the life of Minister of Highways and Road Development and Chief Government Whip Jeyaraj Fernandopulle, said a statement issued by the US Embassy in Colombo yesterday (7).

“We offer our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims and to all Sri Lankans for this tragic loss.

“The United States denounces this vicious and
reprehensible terrorist attack on civilians in the strongest possible terms. Its perpetrators have achieved nothing other than to cause further suffering among the people of Sri Lanka. Only a political solution, not continued violence, offers the way forward to end the country's conflict,” the statement further said.
