Sri Lanka Trincomalee port town bombed

Aug 26, 2008 (LBO) - At least two explosions ripped through the port town of Trincomalee in Eastern Sri Lanka, which is home to a strategically important naval base Tuesday night, residents and the military said. "There had been an explosion in Trincomalee town and we are checking on it," military spokesman Udaya Nanayakkara said.

A resident reported hearing at least two explosions and anti-aircraft defenses being activated.

Tamil Tiger guerillas who are fighting for separate state are known to posses at least two aircraft which had earlier bombed the Sri Lanka capital Colombo.
