COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (CNN) — A bomb hidden in an apple vendor’s stall in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo exploded Saturday, wounding at least 45 people, police said. The blast happened in Colombo’s busy Pettah commercial district, police said. At least two children were among the wounded, police said. The government issued a statement Saturday saying “there was every indication” that the Tamil Tiger rebels, who are fighting for an independent homeland, were involved in the attack. |
