Sri Lanka's ace marathon runner and national record holder, K.A. Karunaratne and the National Athletic Coach, Lakshman De Alwis were among the 11 persons killed when an LTTE suicider bomber disguised as a marathon runner blew himself up early this morning.

The attack targetted Minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle, a senior minister and an outspoken politician who has never spared his words when criticising terrorism and its apologists.
