Huge Time Bomb Defused Before Five Minutes of its Explosion

RAGAMA: A MASSIVE BLOODBATH, intended to be caused by explosion of a 2.5 kg time bomb, near a crowded bus halt and a filling station at ALAPITIVALA MAHABAGE road, RAGAMA was prevented, just five minutes before its explosion Thursday (5) evening precisely at 8.25 p.m..

Had the arrival of the Army Bomb Disposal Unit got late to defuse by five minutes, it could have exploded causing a huge carnage in the busy town spot.

The Bomb Disposal Team defused it at 8.25 p.m. before it was set to explode at 8.30 p.m..
