A car bomb exploded in northwest Sri Lanka on Friday and wounded 13 people, including 12 schoolchildren about to travel in the vehicle, the military said. It was the first major bomb blast reported in the country since government troops crushed the Tamil Tiger rebels in May, after a 25-year insurgency for an independent homeland. Military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said a private dispute is suspected behind the blast. He said an investigation is continuing. He said the bomb had been set up to explode when the engine was started Friday morning near the town of Kurunegala.
