Sri Lanka: Two injured in Oddusudaan bombing

Saturday, 23 February 2008

Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) bombed the village of Oddusuddan on Saturday morning, causing injuries to two Tamil civilians. Half a dozen bombs dropped by SLAF jets landed in agricultural land, Tamileelam Police say. Shrapnel from the bombs hit two civilian bystanders. The injured were identified as father of seven Appapillai Thanabalasingham, 56, and Thaiventhrarasa Kodeeswaran, 20.

Irritated by recent battlefield failures, the Sri Lankan military has stepped up its bombings of Tamil villages targeting the civilian population. Tamil militants have vowed to avenge by setting off bombs in the south of the island.
