is there more danger flying with Srilankan Airlines?

I have BKK-CMB-FRA tickets in the beginning of March, but in the light of recent events I have honestly became quite scared, considering the facts
1) LTTE has attacked Srilankan planes twice:

2) Tamil community has called for boycott of Srilanka

3) seems Tamils are not particularly keen fighting Srilankan army or police, but are perfectly satisfied attacking innocent civilians, so who says they cant plant plastic bomb in the airplane...

Wondering if I should cancel my ticket and search for other, unfortunately much more expensive prices to get from BKK to Europe in C? I know the possibility of me and my wife being in the wrong place at the wrong time is minimal, but given the aforementioned facts, it still makes me uncomfortable, probably during the whole flight...
