Sri Lanka’s 60th anniversary of independence falls just one day after a suicide bomb in the railway station killed 11 people, reported BBC News. The anniversary was marked with high displays of military hardware and tightened security in Colombo, the country’s capitol. The tightened security is posing problems for the people of Sri Lanka, including slowing down rush hour traffic. Even with such extreme security the Tamil Tigers are still on everyone’s mind, “the fear has really got into people’s minds,” said student Janai Wijentuge to BBC News reports. The independence parade happening in Colombo will also include lots of military equipment and presence. Which leaves the people of Sri Lanka to wonder and dread what would happen if the Tamil Tigers were to strike now.
