From Yahoo News:COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - Bombs ripped through two buses in separate attacks in Sri Lanka on Friday, including an attack during morning rush-hour traffic near the capital that killed 21 people and wounded 47, officials said.
The second bombing occurred in central Sri Lanka's Kandy district within hours of the first attack and killed at least two people and wounded at least 20, said military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara.
Authorities promptly blamed the Tamil Tiger rebels for the blast near Colombo. The rebels have made such attacks a hallmark of their 25-year fight against Sri Lanka's government.
