The two suspects who were found guilty in the Colombo Town Hall bomb case were today sentenced to jail terms of 290 and 300 years to be served concurrently in 30 years.

High Court Judge Padmini Ranawaka convicted the two accused on charges of attempting to assassinate former president Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga on December 18, 1999 while she was addressing an election rally at the Town Hall grounds.

The third suspect was acquitted of the charges. (Farook Thajudeen)

Justice in 16years for Slightly injured Ex-President but no justice for more than 50years for Minority Tamils! Same old Judiciary in Srilanka!

While the Tamils of the 1977 and 1983 riots are still waiting for at least one Sinhalese killer and looter to be identified and be sentenced.

Justice after 16 years and that for an attempt on the life of the President. No wonder that people have lost confidence in the judiciary.
