Colombo : One person was injured in a minor explosion caused by a parcel bomb at the main railway station in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo on Friday, police said, according to dpa.
The blast at the Fort Railway station in the heart of the city occurred during peak travel time Friday evening. All railway services from the station were suspended.
Police said damage had been caused to a staircase where the parcel bomb had been placed. A time device or remote control is believed to have been used to trigger the explosion.
Police said that they cannot rule out the involvement of the rebels of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the incident.
The government has vowed to crush the rebels, possibly within this year.
