Yes guys.. i read the news papers also..

and i saw some thing so important

Before the Bomb Explotion there was a call to General Hospital saying " ada api hoda wadak denawa lasthi wela inna, ogollanta godak wada thiyena dawasak ada" and the guy who answered the phone call had call to 119 and report this incident.

and that bike is from Wattala, and the LTTE Bombman took it three weeks before this explotion.
