A woman in a sari walks into an office, adjusts her bra and presses a detonator. She de-parts in thirds, torso cleaved, her head arcing across the room. Here’s the gruesome, NSFW video of a recent Tamil tiger suicide bombing released by the Sri Lankan government (hat tip: khoofia).

One person was killed and two others injured [Nov. 28] when a female suicide bomber detonated outside the office of… minister Douglas Devananda… head of the Tamil political party, he is seen as a traitor by the Tamil Tiger rebels because he is aligned with the Sri Lankan government. He has survived 12 previous assassination attempts. [Link]

… the Public Relations officer… [asked bomber Sujatha Vagawanam] to get… frisked before going into Mr. Devananda’s chamber… But she soon stood up facing Peiris, and lifted her right hand to her right shoulder to touch something. There followed a blinding explosion. Peiris and the bomber were both thrown back and killed. [Link]

Targeted civilians, check. Killed innocent bystander, check. Name-check?

It’s a bomb yo
So run yo
Put away your stupid gun yo
Cause see through like a protocol call
Which is why we blow it up ‘fore we go

Sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you, my baby
And some showers I’ll be aiming at you
Cause I’m watching you, my baby

– M.I.A., ‘Sunshowers’
