Bomb Found in Borella
Sure cart looked nada like this. Not even sure it was a cart. Photo by Dilettante
I hear they found a bomb in Borella, near the YMBA. Totally sketchy on details. Birdie tells me it was in a push-cart covered in vegetables. Reportedly 15kgs. Oi. This shit is getting kinda old. Again, I dunno what strategic targets around there, at least in freaking push-cart range. The Young Mens Buddhist Association, um, and nothing. There’s a ‘Lover’ fashion outlet down the way which is a bit of an eyesore. It’s honestly a very residential, medium commercial area and I can’t see any real target to bomb there, it doesn’t even get much Parliament traffic. Maybe they were handing it off to someone else to get around checkpoints or something. I suppose all the explosives must be moved around before they can finally target and kill somebodies. Urgh.
note, now i hear it was a push-bike. Dunno
Hah, reminds me of the thembili cart bomb near the Independence Square yonks ago. Well you can’t say there aren’t strategic targets. Who knew there would be a strategic target near Liberty Plaza juc. [apart from Krrish] Can’t-see-any-real-target-to-bomb is the thing we get wrong. We don’t see there’s a potential target until Prabha’s butchers find it out.
My goodness 15kgs?? Was it a bomb, or..??
LTTE can achieve multiple goals by triggering a bomb here in Colombo. Killing their VIP target may be their goal number one but the terror such bomb can create lot of problems especially when a major regional event is taking place in Colombo. This objective they can achieve to a great extent even if they failed to reach their target
Like you’ve said, this possibly might be a bomb ‘being moved’ to a target.. OR maybe there was no VIP or a “strategic target” but was just a bomb to get civilians? That road where the YMBA is is chock-a-block traffic at any given time of the day – pedestrians and vehicles. Not to mention a HUGE crowd waiting for buses (again at any given time of the day!) 5 metres down the road from the building!
On an aside – ever thought of changing your blog from ‘Indi’ to ‘Actual Breaking News’?? No other sites (ESP those claiming to be immediately updated 24/7) gets news to ppl as fast as u do!! Seriously – as soon as I ‘hear’ of something happening in SL – I rush onto check this blog! TNX! ;o))
Big Thanks to our SL ARMY , shit happen till we wipe out this LTTE
A possibility is that the LTTE is just showing that if they WANTED to blow something up, they have the capability to. As if that needed underlining.
