Train blast in SriLanka

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka -Military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara blamed Tamil Tiger rebels for the bombing near the railroad station in Dehiwala, about six miles south of Colombo.

Rebel spokesman Rasiah Ilanthirayan did not respond to calls seeking comment but the rebels routinely deny such attacks.

Television footage showed the blast ripped off part of the train compartment's roof and windows were shattered. Bloodstained bags, umbrellas, glasses and other debris were strewn throughout the compartment.
