---

COLOMBO, Nov 28 (AFP): A female suicide bomber killed herself in the Sri Lankan capital Wednesday, wounding at least three security men outside a senior minister's office, the police said.
The bomber, a suspected member of the Tamil Tiger rebels, tried to enter the heavily guarded building housing the offices of welfare and social development minister Douglas Devananda, they said.
But she was halted and blew herself up outside.
The minister, who was inside meeting the public on an open day, escaped unhurt.
