Maradana bomb blast site |
The LTTE suicide blast at Maradana was just another one of the
countless number of attacks perpetrated by the LTTE terrorists on
innocent defenceless civilians Thirty people were killed and 115 injured
in an LTTE suicide blast at the Maradana Railway station on March 5,
1998.
Two LTTE cadres who drove an explosive laden mini bus, blasted it
opposite the railway station at around 12.30pm.
The blast occurred when the explosive laden bus was being followed by
police men attached to the Traffic branch of the Maradana Police
Station.
Preliminary investigations into the blast revealed that two claymore
mines were fixed onto either side of the bus.
LTTE terrorists carried out a number of ruthless attacks on innocent
civilians.
International organizations which appear for the protection and
promotion of human rights hardly raised their voice against these
attacks. |
