In Sri Lanka, at least 103 people died Monday after a suicide truck bomb exploded alongside buses packed with soldiers. It was the deadliest suicide bombing in the country’s history. Over 150 people were also wounded. UN secretary General Kofi Annan condemned the attack and called on the government and the Tamil Tigers to return to the negotiation table. More than 2,300 people have been violently killed in Sri Lanka since December.
