On September 16, four persons were injured when a suspected parcel bomb exploded inside a Colombo Transport Bus at Horton Place roundabout in Colombo, reports Daily News. "The bomb exploded at 1.50 p.m. a few minutes after the last passenger was evacuated from the bus (NA-3656) and the Police were waiting for the bomb disposal unit," driver Thilakasiri said. The bus, plying from Mattakkuliya to Moratuwa and carrying around 60 passengers, was extensively damaged. "This is definitely a desperate attempt by the LTTE to explode a bomb inside a bus to and to inflict casualties to the civilians so that they can show to the world that Colombo is not safe. But we should commend the timely action of the passengers, the conductor and the driver of the bus for their vigilance about unattended parcels at this decisive period," Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Daily News.
