 |  Commandos searching for clues after the attack |
A security guard at a Tamil newspaper office has succumbed to injuries after a grenade was thrown at the office in Sri Lankan capital, Colombo. KK Ratnasignham, editor of Sudaroli, told the BBC that security guard David Selvaratnam died at Colombo National Hospital. Condemning the attack, Free Media Movement (FMM) said hate speech against media by Sinhala nationalist leaders are fuelling the volatile situation in the country. Sunanda Deshapriya, spokesman of the FMM, told bbcsinhala.com website that JVP parliamentary group leader Wimal Weerawansa has called Sudaroli ‘a terrorist outfit’, in public on Sunday. He recalled that senior Tamil journalist Dharmeratnam Sivaram was abducted and killed after a similar hate campaign by the JVP leaders.
