www.defence.lk">Four years have passed since the suicide blast at the Fort Railway Station which killed over12 persons including seven members of D S Senanayake College, Colombo, baseball team.
A woman suicide bomber blasted herself at the Fort Railway Station on February 3, 2008, killing seven students of D S Senanayake College. The coach of the team was also killed in the blast which took place on the eve of the 60th Independence Day celebrations. Rajarathnam Radeeswaran, a GCE O-L Tamil medium student of D S Senanayake College was also killed in the LTTE blast.
