APRIL 28 — At around 9am on Easter Sunday, a man walked into a crowded restaurant in the Shangri La hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka and blew himself up. His backpack was filled with explosives and in seconds dozens of people were killed and even more wounded.
Men detonated packs of explosives and as a security response began, there were more explosions. In total close to 300 people were killed and a nation was left in turmoil But as intelligence services unpack exactly what happened on the day — how so much explosives, material, men and vehicles were co-ordinated into such deadly attacks, there is also the crucial challenge of reflecting on the future.ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks in Sri Lanka. They revealed that the bombers were aligned with their ideology and opened the possibility of similar attacks anywhere in the world.
All of us — whether you live in Singapore or Malaysia — are not safe. The recent attack against mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand made it clear that even peaceful towns in the world’s safest countries can see random attacks.
