News... Bombs near Trinco
Below is an excerpt from the BBC news website...
Two Britons are thought to have been injured after a bus hit a mine in north-eastern Sri Lanka.
The British tourists had been travelling in another vehicle. The bus was carrying troops from Trincomalee. The Foreign Office said the Britons did not have life-threatening injuries and the bus had veered into their minibus. Officials in Sri Lanka have blamed the blast on Tamil rebels.
The bus attack took place as the vehicle travelled from the port town of Trincomalee to Colombo, according to a military spokesman. According to the Foreign Office, the injured Britons had been travelling with a Sri Lankan and another Briton in a minibus when the bus veered into them.
Scary reading as this is the way we would normally travel to Trinco - this shows how unsafe things really are out there at the moment.
