Envoy has narrow escape as mine attack kills seven in Colombo
The unprecedented Claymore mine attack on a diplomat in Colombo came as troops and Tigers were locked in fierce face-to-face combat in the island’s northern peninsula of Jaffna.
Ambassador Bashir Wali Mohmand, a retired Pakistan intelligence officer, narrowly escaped although his car took shrapnel from the mine mounted on a parked three-wheeler taxi, police said.
