Terrorangrepet i Colombo 6. april 2008 skjedde da en bombe gikk av i Colombo, hovedstaden i Sri Lanka.

Bakgrunn

Tamiltigrene har slåss siden 1983 for en uavhengig stat for Sri Lankas etniske tamilminoritet i nord og øst, etter tiår med å bli marginalisert av den Sinhalese-dominerte regjeringer. Kampen har krevd livene til mer enn 70 000 mennesker.[3]

Sentrale representanter for regjeringen har lovet å knuse opprørsgruppen innen 2008, og kampene har rast i månedsvis på frontlinjene av den de facto staten i nord.[3]

Den srilankiske hæren har i tiden før dette terrorangrepet drevet med flere militære offensiver nord i landet hvor Tamiltigrene er sterkest. Tidligere i uka ble nesten 60 opprørere drept i løpet av to dager med kamper. I januar 2008 brøt regjeringen en våpenhvileavtale fra 2002. Myndighetene hevdet at våpenhvilen ble brukt av Tamiltigrene til å omorganisere seg og ruste opp.[2]

Angrepet

En selvmordsbombe gikk av på Kanthi lekeplassen i landbyen Weliveriya, like utenfor hovedstaden Colombo i Gampaha-distriktet i Sri Lanka, der veiministeren Jeyaraj Fernandopulle var til stede for å åpne et maratonløp, i anledning feiringen av det tamilske nyttår.[1] Ministeren skulle til å veive med et flagg for å starte maratonløpet da bomben gikk av.[1]

Skader

Angrepet drepte minst 12 personer, deriblant den srilankiske veiministeren, og såret 90 andre.[2] Den ledende idrettstreneren, Lakshman de Alwis, og den tidligere maratonløperen, K.A. Karunaratne, var også blant de omkomne.[2] Fernandopulle ble dermed den andre srilankiske ministeren som ble drept i 2008.[1]

Ansvar

Regjeringen på Sri Lanka anklaget Tamiltigrene for å stå bak angrepet.[1]
