IS has yet again claimed responsibility on Saturday's attacks in eastern Sri Lanka stating 17 policemen were killed or injured in the gun battle.

Mohamed Hashim , the ultimate mastermind behind terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s President Maithripala Sirisena on Saturday outlawed two Islamist groups suspected to be behind the suicide bombings on churches and hotels while the wife and child of the suspected ringleader were wounded during a military raid in safe house, his family and police said. Police believe the suspected mastermind of the bombings, Mohamed Hashim Mohamed Zahran, led either the NTJ or a splinter group.

The wounded included the wife and a daughter of Zahran, his family said. “Yes, the wife and daughter were injured in the attack,” said Mohamed Hashim Mathaniya, sister of Zahran. Zahran appeared in a video released by IS days after the bombing, the only one showing his face while seven others were covered.

Both Sirisena and Wickremesinghe have said intelligence was not shared with them, exposing rifts at the top of the government and raising questions about its ability to deal with the security crisis.The president said some of the country’s youth had been involved with the group since 2013 and that there were drug trafficking links.
