Suicide bomber kills 28 at Sri Lanka refugee camp: military

COLOMBO (AFP) – A suspected Tamil Tiger suicide bomber attacked a camp for civilians fleeing Sri Lanka's war zone on Monday, killing 20 soldiers and eight civilians, army spokesman Udaya Nanayakkara said.

He said the female bomber from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) targeted a camp near Visuamadu, an area the military recently captured from the rebels.

"Twenty soldiers, including three women soldiers were killed," Nanayakkara said. "Another eight civilians were also killed and 40 civilians were wounded."
