Sri Lanka - Suicide Bombing footage

Following on from the thread last week about the suicide bombing in Sri Lanka

(http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=141&t=662427&mid=93541&nmt=Sri Lanka suicide bomber pictures) ,

I came across the following link which shows a Tamil Tiger attempting to assasinate a politican.. Apparently the bomb was hidden in the bra and is the first ever suicide bombing caught on camera.

For £399? This is ridiculous - but true. Departing Jun 2 (book by Mar 23) Thomson Worldwide has a two-for-one deal to include eight night's B&B hotel accomodation on the beach, with pool and flights from Heathrow. Where's my passport....

Now that's a bargain, £200 per person, the hotel alone would cost more
