Last Post for the year has exploded... much like this story

In the country of Sri Lanka, Militants suspected of being members of the Tamil Tigers ambushed a civilian bus on Thursday and set off a mine. The army reported that the blast had killed at least 58 people and injured 45 in what is by far the worst attack since 2002. Some 500 people have been killed since early April as talks between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam collapsed, and many now fear a slide back into the island's 20 year civil war. The Tigers were not immediately available for comment, but have previously denied involvement in similar attacks on troops across the Tamil dominated north and east, where they want a separate homeland. Officials said most of the dead were likely to be from the island's Sinhalese majority.
