Sri Lanka temporarily blocks some social media networks and messaging apps after Muslim shops, mosques attacked by shiharaneez rangaba

COLOMBO - Sri Lanka said on Monday it was temporarily blocking some social media networks and messaging apps, including Facebook and WhatsApp, after mosques and Muslim-owned businesses were attacked in the wake of Easter bombings by Islamist militants.

Authorities said they arrested the author of a Facebook post, identified as 38-year-old Abdul Hameed Mohamed Hasmar, whose online comment “1 day u will cry” locals said was interpreted as threatening violence. Military spokesman Sumith Atapattu said people in the area then demanded the arrested men be released.The flare-up in violence came three weeks after Sri Lankan Islamist bombers blew themselves up in four hotels and three churches, killing more than 250 people.
