Sri Lanka attack mastermind used chatrooms to sway suicide bombers

Security personnel effect a controlled explosion of a device discovered in a van near the St Anthony's Church in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on April 22, 2019, a day after a series of six blasts were set off in churches and hotels by jihadists. The mastermind is believed to have used the internet to indoctrinate and recruit young men for suicide and mass murder. – EPA pic, May 3, 2019.

Christians and tourists were badly hit in the attacks on three churches and three hotels that killed 257 people, but Sri Lanka’s Muslim community has also been badly scarred and is looking into the backgrounds of Zahran and his jihadist acolytes.
