“Following a review of the situation in the Sri Lankan capital, Colombo, Emirates is to resume normal operations to and from the city from May 4, 2007,” a statement by the airline was quoted as saying by Gulf News.

There was confusion and panic in Colombo in the early hours of April 29 when the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) carried out an air raid in the city suburbs.

The rebels dropped four bombs, which they said were aimed at destroying government oil installations.
