I am glad you are OK, Warrie! But 16 dead...so many people close to them must be suffering now.

I can't imagine how terrifying that must be. It is an awful thing to have happen anywhere, to anyone, and to have it so close to home must be frightening. Thank you for letting us know you're okay.

its midnight now. schools are to be closed tomorrow and friday as the goverment is expecting more trouble from the tamil tigers.

the actual situation we can only see as days go by.

the main reason why this attacked is because the president's brother who is the defence ministry sweared to kill the ltte leader. This article ran in all the news paper. so naturally i guess it provoked attacks.

My family is ok, friends not sure as yet as it is a busy city. I must call and get an update tomorrow.

I dont know if i am allowed to discuss politics but i hope the world sees them as definite terrorist. In the last few months they tried to portrait themselves as freedom fighters against the state. By killing innocent people they prove themsleve as terrorist.
