The Dehiwala train bombing happened on 26 May 2008. 9 civilians were killed, including a pregnant mother and 73 more passengers suffered injuries, when the LTTE terrorists exploded a bomb inside a highly crowded Colombo-Panadura train. It is believed that the parcel bomb exploded had been placed on the luggage rack in the train, police sources claimed.
World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) claims that it is possible that the attack was carried out by the LTTE in retaliation to a bomb blast targeting a van on 23 May 2008 in LTTE controlled area, which they (the LTTE) claimed to be carried out by the Sri Lankan military.
