In a stunning attack, two light aircraft of the beleaguered LTTE late Friday night bombed Colombo hitting Sri Lanka's main Revenue Department building near the Air Force Headquarters killing at least two persons before they were brought down by the military.

Shortly after the bombing around 9.30 pm (local time), Sri Lanka's air force gave chase to the two aircraft and shot down one of them, military spokesman Brig Udaya Nanayakkara said. He said the wreckage and the body of the pilot were recovered near Katunayake air base.
