| Bus bombing kills 26 in Sri Lanka |
AP/UNB, Colombo
A bomb and shooting attack blamed on Tamil separatists ripped through a packed civilian bus Wednesday, killing 26 people in southeastern Sri Lanka as the government officially withdrew from a tattered cease-fire with the rebels. Military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said it was clear the rebels were behind the assault, the latest in a string of attacks in government-held territory in recent months. "There are no other groups operating in the area," he said. Spokesmen for the rebels could not immediately be reached for comment. But the group, listed as a terror organization by the U.S. and European Union,  routinely denies responsibility for such attacks. If the Tamil Tigers are responsible, it highlights their increasing determination to hit targets in the generally peaceful south as the military presses ahead with an offensive against rebel-held territory in the north. The bomb struck the bus in the remote town of Buttala, about 240 kilometers (150 miles) southeast of Colombo, about 7:30 a.m., Nanayakkara said. Moments later, a barrage of gunfire hit the vehicle, he said. The attack killed 26 people and injured 64 others, he said. Doctors from Colombo were being flown to the area by emergency helicopters to treat the wounded and medical workers said many of those killed were hit by gunfire. Soon after the attack, a second roadside bomb struck an armored military vehicle in the same region, lightly injuring three soldiers, Nanayakkara said. In response to the attacks, local authorities announced the closure of all schools in the province for three days.
