MULLAITTIVU: AN LTTE WOMAN SUICIDE BOMBER blew herself up at about 2.00 p.m. on Monday (6) in the general area of RAMANATHAPURAM immediately after she spotted the presence of Army troops ahead of her.
The impact of the explosion injured one of the officers on duty in the area, but his condition was out of danger and not critical, according to the ground sources.
It was believed that the woman suicide bomber with the intention of causing damages to the Security Forces has crept into cleared areas, but the presence of troops would have upset her plans before she reached the target.
