Tamil guerrillas blew up a train in northern Sri Lanka, killing 34 people and wounding 25 others, the Defense Ministry said. The train was on its way from the country’s northern province to Colombo, the capital, the ministry reported, when the bomb blew 11 of the train’s 13 cars off the track. In an ensuing gun battle with the guerrillas, “it is believed that at least three terrorists were killed,” the ministry said.
