Colombo - Five people including a suspected suicide bomber were killed on Wednesday in a blast in a high-security zone of the Sri Lankan capital Colombo, a military official said.
A woman suicide bomber blew herself up and killed four policemen and injured 12 people, the official said.
It was the first suicide bombing in Colombo since October 2001. The Tamil Tiger rebels, who are known for suicide attacks, entered a Norwegian-brokered truce with Sri Lankan forces in February 2002.
