    wow ! so now they are making use of toys that were left behind by the kotiyas.... even though we got rid of the terrorists we are yet to get rid of terrorism.

    Underworld gangsters should be behind this incident, wiping out underworld gangs from this country is very difficult because some politicians are behind them.

    Is this cartoon to illustrate about the short comings of Colombo city? Was this a dead city before? According to my knowledge, Hon. President's official residence is situated within the jurisdiction of this city. Until now no body realizes it's internal corruption. everybody must be sleeping. Any way this whole drama is a real joke.this must be the main reason for the grenade explosion. I have a question. How did Sri Lankan army defeat the terrorist?

    Not surprising...with all the underworld thugs having protection from the high and mighty of the land...they called Sri Lanka..small miracle..land of smiles..and what not..all the nice words..perhaps time to name it ..the land of thugs..,,gangs and underworld...a land like no other....

    Underworld of course. This cannot be eliminated as long as their bosses are in power!

    Has the grenade explosion at bodhiraja mawatha to do anything with dissolution of the Colombo Municipality yerterday ?

    The underworld leader who collected dirty money is the culprit.
    He is not getting his share as the hawkers have been given shelter by the government.

    All the billions spent on IIFA will be vapourised by this blast and its media coverage worldwide. Colombo exploding again will be the impression created.

    Why not remove these stalls and clear the road.

    This shows we need Emergency Regulations to contnue albeit repealing it is one of the conditions laid by EU countries on GSP+.

    Its Mahinda and his boyz who did this. Its after UN called for a war crime, its an obvious that it was SL government`s idea to create such a dumb idea, usually LTTE attacks are BIG this is some gay idea.
