Suspected suicide attacker strikes after fall of LTTE bastion.
Colombo: Two persons died when a suspected suicide attacker riding a motorcycle struck near the headquarters of the Sri Lankan Air Force, a military official said.
Over 30 people were injured in the attack shortly after Kilinochchi, the de facto capital of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, was captured by the Sri Lankan army.
The explosion occurred near the entrance of the Air Force headquarters at Slave Island in the capital and caused heavy damage to a moving civilian bus in the area, officials said.
"At least two people were killed from the suicide attack near the Air Force headquarters," said a government spokesman. Hospital officials said 30 people were admitted with blast injuries.
