Havelock Road bombing
The Havelock Road Bombing was the detonation of a remote controlled car bomb on March 2, 1991, during rush hour in Thimbirigasyaya (also known as Havelocktown) a suburb of Colombo, Sri Lanka. According to Jane's Information Group it was carried out to assassinate Ranjan Wijeratne, the Sri Lankan Foreign Minister and Minister of State for Defense〔(Suicide terrorism: a global threat, www.janes.com )〕 (deputy defense minister) by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)〔(Jane's Sentinel examines the success of the LTTE in resisting the Sri Lankan forces )〕 which is proscribed as a terrorist organization by 31 countries (see list). The bomb was detonated as the Minister's armored car passed it, killing 19 people including the minister, five security personal and 13 civilian by standers.〔〔 Minister Wijeratne was known to have a hard line stance towards the LTTE.〔(The Rediff Special )〕
The blast occurred on Havelock Road (a stretch of the Highlevel road) close to Police Field Headquarters during morning rush hour when the minister was on his way to office from his home.〔 In 2008, Tamil Tigers accused that Ranjan Wijeratne tried to kill their leader Velupillai Prabhakaran during the 1990 peace process.
