COLOMBO, Feb 29 (Reuters) - A suicide bomb blast shook a building near the port in the Sri Lankan capital early on Friday, killing at least two people and wounding seven, a bomb squad official said.

"There was a suicide attack," the bomb squad officer said, asking not to be named in line with policy. "We don't have further details."

The military confirmed the blast. (Reporting by Ranga Sirilal, Writing by Simon Gardner; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani)
