The SLMM spokesman, Thofinn Omarsson said that SLMM is doing an inquiry and it is very difficult to be hundred percent sure who is behind the brutal attacks, which has a terrible effect on the people and the peace process.

"We don’t know anything further about who is behind this. There are certain groups being blamed; but they have denied it",he said.

We hope that this violence will come to an end. Unfortunately we have seen some heavy artillery on the east coast following the bombing, Omarsson said.

"There were some air strikes in Killinochchi, which is quite serious. I don’t know if there are any casualties there", SLMM spokesman Omarsson said.

If these air strikes are going to continue then it will be very difficult to end the violence, he said.

Norwegian Minister reacts

Norway Minister for International Development Erik Solheim condeming the attack appealed to both parties to the conflict to stop violence.

Speaking to the BBC Sinhala service from Oslo, he said that both parties have disregarded the advice given to them.

"This is a brutal act which must be condemned by everyone",Minister Solheim said.
