Sri Lanka cabinet installed after Tamil rebel bombing
A Tamil Tiger bomber killed two and wounded 21, including three American women, near Colombo's recreation park as President Chandrika Kumaratunga appointed her 43 member cabinet. The attack targeted cabinet members, but security foiled the plan. Three Americans injured were volunteers and a relative of an aid official.
