								<span>A bomb exploded on a crowded commuter train in a southern 
suburb of Sri Lanka's capital Monday, killing seven people and wounding 
at least 62 others, police said.<br><br>The parcel bomb had been placed 
in the luggage rack on the train, which was bound for the southern town 
of Panadura, 27 kilometers (17 miles) from Colombo, police said. 
Investigators blamed the country's Tamil Tiger separatist movement for 
the attack, which occurred about 5:30pm in the southern suburb of 
Dehiwala.<br><br>Many of those on the train were office workers headed home at the end of the workday, police said.<br><br>The
 bombing came amid a nationwide alert triggered by the discovery of at 
least three packages, in three different towns, that contained bombs. 
And it follows allegations by the Tamil Tigers, who are fighting for an 
independent Tamil homeland in northern Sri Lanka, that government forces
 had killed 16 civilians in an attack on rebel-held territory in the 
Wanni region Friday.<br><br>The rebels also said the government killed an infant and a 17-year-old girl when warplanes bombed the area the same day.</span>
