COLOMBO - Sri Lanka’s Catholic churches have canceled Sunday mass in the capital Colombo for a second straight week, citing foreign intelligence warnings of threats to worshippers in the wake of the deadly Easter bombings on churches and hotels.

And the U.S. ambassador to Sri Lanka said this week that some of the Islamist militants behind the Easter bombings that killed over 250 people were likely to be still at large and could be planning more attacks. [L3N22C1ES] Schools are due to reopen again on Monday, and the Education Ministry has said at least one police officer will be posted at each institution to protect children.

Sri Lanka has previously said that they suspect the attackers had international links, although the precise nature of those connections aren’t known.
