The 2008 Dehiwala train bombing was a bombing of a commuter train, running from Colombo to Panadura on May 26, 2008, in Dehiwala, Sri Lanka, a suburb of Colombo. The bombing killed 9 people and injured at least 67. The Sri Lankan military blames the LTTE for the attack. WSWS claims that it is possible that the attack was carried out by the LTTE in retaliation to a bomb blast targeting a van on May 23 in LTTE controlled area, which they claimed to be carried out by the Sri Lankan military.
