Bomb in Ampara; 11 dead

vendredi, 09 mai 2008

A bomb exploded in 'City Café and Bake House' on D.S. Senanayake St., Ampara around 5.40 pm today (May 9). Eleven persons are reported to have died and several others injured. Only those who were within the premises have fallen victim to this terrorist attack and no one in the vicinity were reported to have suffered any injuries.

The explosion had taken place a mere 100m from the Campaign Office of the United People's Freedom Alliance.

Contrary to reports in certain sections of the media, Mrs. Ferial Ashroff has not been harmed in this attack. Mrs. Ashroff had been campaigning on behalf of the UPFA in Kalmunai at the time and there is no truth in speculation that the Minister had been the target of the attack.

The story of MAS Fabrics and its efforts to present Sri Lanka as the preferred apparel sourcing destination to the world

When Timothy Speldewinde, CEO - Stretchline Holdings, says that his company manufactures 1.5 million metres of elastic a day, he is not stretching the truth. "That means we make enough elastic each year to wrap around the world 10 times over - and that's without stretching it," he says. This is just another feat at MAS Fabrics and one more chapter in the MAS Holdings success story.
