US condemns bus attack
The United States strongly condemned yesterdays's vicious terrorist
attack on a civilian bus in the Uva Province that killed at least 26
persons, including many women and children, and injured more than 60
others. "We express our condolences to the victims and their families."
"While no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, it bears
all the hallmarks of the LTTE.
The targeting of civilians serves to foster fear and cause further
suffering among the Sri Lankan people. Only a political solution to the
country's conflict offers a way out of the current cycle of escalating
violence," a US Embassy press release said.
