Karunaratne and army officer Lt Colonel Udayadeera were killed in the bombing which wounded 90 others.[3][4][5] The Sri Lankan Government has blamed the Tamil Tigers for this attack because Minister Fernandopulle was a vocal critic of the Tamil Tigers.[1] See also[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv50bkb6ua4 Explosion caught on tape] References1. ^1 Blast kills Sri Lankan minister, BBC {{Sri Lankan Civil War}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Weliveriya Bombing}}{{SriLanka-hist-stub}}2. ^Sri Lankan MP among 10 killed in blast, CNN 3. ^Suicide blast kills Sri Lankan minister, CNN 4. ^Jeryaraj killed in Gampaha blast 5. ^Colonel Udayadeera lays his life in the Suicide attack Ministry of Defence 9 : 2008 crimes in Sri Lanka|Attacks on civilians attributed to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam|Civilian massacres in Sri Lanka|Filmed deaths in sports|Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam attacks in Eelam War IV|Mass murder in 2008|Suicide bombings in Sri Lanka|Terrorist incidents in Sri Lanka in 2008|Filmed murder–suicides |
