Minister Maithreepala Sirisena Miraculously Escapes LTTE Female Suicide Attempt PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 09 October 2008

ONE more LTTE woman suicide bomber this afternoon (9) at about 1.15 p.m. made an abortive attempt on the life of Minister MAITHREEPALA SIRISENA, near KATUWAWALA, PIRIVEANA Road Junction on BORALESGAMUWA and PILIYANDALA main road when the Minister’s convoy was speeding past the location. Minister MAITHREEPALA SIRISENA and his convoy however escaped unaffected in the blast that triggered a thundering noise, but the explosion injured seven more civilians moving in the area, of whom two were in the ministerial convoy.

Initial reports said the suicide bomber after infiltrating the location has waited for some time until the Minister’s convoy passed by, according to Police reports.

Mr. MAITHREEPALA SIRISENA, Minister of Agricultural Development and Agrarian Services who has been a vociferous critic of the terrorist organization, was returning after a state function when the suicide bomber blew himself up.

However, Secretary to Ministry of Agriculture who had been in one of the vehicles in the convoy has sustained injuries, according to Director, COLOMBO National Hospital Accident Service.
