Investigators at the scene of a suicide bombing at St. Sebastian Church in Negombo, Sri Lanka, Monday, April 22, 2019. Easter Sunday bombings of churches, luxury hotels and other sites was Sri Lanka's deadliest violence since a devastating civil war in the South Asian island nation ended a decade ago.
In an indication of the tensions, three explosions caused panic but apparently no injuries Monday as police were defusing bombs inside a van parked near one of the stricken churches. Dozens of detonators were discovered near Colombo’s main bus depot, but officials declined to say whether they were linked to the attacks.
Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne said the warnings started April 4, the defense ministry wrote to the police chief with information that included the group’s name and and police wrote April 11 to the heads of security of the judiciary and diplomatic security division. Also unclear was a motive. The history of Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka, a country of 21 million including large Hindu, Muslim and Christian minorities, is rife with ethnic and sectarian conflict.
So, where are the Frenchbillionaires to help and support the families affected by this tragedy? NotreDame
Do blame failure of intel but the perpetrators Islamic terror
The fact that Sri Lankan government had intel bout the attacks,mean only one thing,they aided and by extension facilitated these pogroms.The worst part,they ain't getting the necessary condemnation it deserves
Buddhist terrorists?
Have they arrested at least even one on suspicion, even after providing vital clues about the attack on Easter in advance?
40 suspects! This is Concerted Conspiracy, to Commit acts of Terrorism. And with 40 Suspects, and that many Locations, it certainly, is no THEORY!
Let them declear Their religions before any further step.
310 Christians died. Over 600 Christians were injured and 40 Muslims par of an Islamic terrorist organization have been arrested. THAT’S a truthful HEADLINE!
PrayForSriLanka
Cleansing (killing) of religious fanatics is what is needed. Not arrests!
The creation of kids with out love and morality this society is very vicious full of vanity they forget the love some where “ I encourage to appreciate more life and respect the others ❤️
they missed two
