1987: Tamil Tigers blamed for bus station bombing
More than 100 people were killed after a bomb exploded in the Sri Lankan capital, Colombo, in April 1987.
Nearly three hundred others were wounded when the device, planted in a car, went off at Colombo's main bus terminal during the rush hour.
The incident was one of the worst mass killings in the long-running feud between the island's two main ethnic groups, the Tamils and the Sinhalese.
The Sri Lankan authorities believed the bomb was planted by Tamil extremists, known as the Tamil Tigers, who were fighting for an independent homeland.
