The initial intelligence indications are that the group responsible for the attacks in Sri Lanka was inspired by ISIS, a US official has told CNN.The official said at least four US citizens have been killed.
Three high-end hotels were targeted on Sunday in Sri Lanka: Cinnamon Grand, Shangri-La Hotel, pictured in a file photo, and The Kingsbury. The three armed forces along with the police have put in place a comprehensive security plan covering hotels, resorts and places of tourist interestRural location made church unlikely target, bishop saysA bishop at the St. Sebastian church -- one of the sites targeted in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday -- told CNN he would have never dreamt that his community's house of worship might be targeted in an attack.
Security personnel stand guard outside St. Anthony's Shrine in Colombo on Monday, a day after the church was hit in series of bomb blasts targeting churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka. There were also fears of more devices following the attack. A ninth improvised explosive device was defused near the capital’s Bandaranaike International Airport on Sunday evening. And on Monday, police found 87 detonators in a private terminal of the main bus station in the capital Colombo.From CNN's Ivan Watson in Colombo
Evil CNN hide muslim murders’ name
That’s Newly Defeated ISIS, to you.
Islamic Terror Groups will keep surfacing in various names and when are we going to realise that they are waging a war against Christians and Western World!!!!
“ISIS has been defeated”
Time to return the favor?
“EASTER WORSHIPPERS”: OBAMA & HILLARY REFUSE TO USE THE WORD “CHRISTIAN” AFTER SRI LANKA ATTACKS Yet they directly referred to “Muslims” following Christchurch mosque attack
Please keep us up to date on this!
Tell us CNN how come one white guy shoot up a Muslim mosque it's on the news for days but Muslims have been killing Christians left and right for the last year we don't hear hardly anything?
Sunday's attacks on Christians.. On Christians! Get it straight!
If true, Muslims you need to try harder to destroy this ISIS ideology. The killing by bombs of over 200 Christians in churches at Easter is as important as muslims killed in mosques in Quebec or ChristChurch. Remember who welcomes you, mostly Democracies rooted in Christianity.
I'm sure our democrat liberal star Rep Ilhan Abdullahi Omar would say : Sri Lanka terrorist attacks was just something some people did.
CNN take some time out of your day and review the way you reported mosque shooting, temple shootings, versus the killing of Christians during a Christian holiday.
I thought ISIS was eliminated. The Moron said so.
Wow CNN is admitting this
DID YOU FORGET TO MENTION THE WORD 'CHRISTIAN' in your 4 a.m. talking points, CNN?
Attacking Christian. Sad.
Instead of the warped leftist libs attacking Trump for securing the borders and keeping illegals out which he has a right to do they should open their mouths instead on Christians and other minorities killed in Muslim and other regions and how they have to fear for their lives
Didn’t tRump say the US decimated ISIS? Donald doesn’t lie - does he?
Correction Msnbc
Just watched a segment on cnn on Sri Lanka Muslim terrorist attacks and not once did the say Muslim terrorist or Christian victims
'Initial intelligence indicates that the group responsible for Sunday's attacks in SriLanka was inspired by ISIS' 16 times Trump said ISIS was defeated USA Election Terrorism Islam Christianity Easter EasterWorshippers ImpeachDonaldTrump Putin
And ISIS is?... KSA, with a premeditated attack of 8 explosions representing the end of a revolution. The octopus has lost its tentacles. The acquired Intelligence became mind and then there was snake. The channel to land.
No shit ... NTJ has uploaded videos on facebook praising ISIS and sri lankan official have blamed this group for carrying out these attacks.
Give it up! No collusion and no obstruction! Now get busy and do something about illegal aliens before we have Christians slaughtered here in the US looks ke Sri Lanka! And by the way, what the heck are Easter Worshipers? Say it after me “ Christians” There!
So.........Muslims
I thought DJT told us ISIS was dead?
I am wondering which God supports this suicide bombing concept? Surely not the God of Moses who said Numbers 35' 20 If he pushes him out of hatred or, while lying in wait, hurls something at him so that he dies, 21 or in enmity he strikes him with his hand so that he dies,
Of course it will be a US official telling us they were inspired by ISIS. And who better to report it but CNN
Wait. I thought we defeated ISIS. Weird...
They were not Sunday attacks, there were terror attacks against Christians CNN. It's obvious but you won't report it that way because it's not agreeing with your liberal narrative.
The same ISIS Obama created?
I hate that name😒
How could that possibly be, Trump said that ISIS is virtually non-existent.
Evil against Christians by MUSLIM terrorist groups. The nations will not react to this as they did to New Zealand attack on MUSLIM. It’s payback / period . Evil world fearful corrupt Leaders
Is tis the same Intel that failed to share it's earlier intel to forestall the hit? SriLankaTerrorAttack SriLankaAttacks SriLankaBlasts SriLanka
CIA trained ISIS that is
it must be pulling CNN's tooth to acknowledge this: somebody from its beloved religion of peace did something, again!
Wait! I thought ISIS was erased...🤔
ISIS made by the CIA, white house and Israel indeed, they created this ugly creature called terrorism and they let go to destroy all good relations between different religions, islam religion was never an enemy of Christianity
They were just some people who did something
All these groups always dissapear into the public domain and go underground to plan and commit such atrocities.Terrorism is a difficult and complicated type of warfare and really needs governments and intelligence agencies across the world to work together.
Oh, 'inspired by' I see what you tried to do there.
At this point ISIS is like the Led Zeppelin of terrorist groups
Wait! What? Wait a damn minute, you mean to tell me that ISIS is what and Donald Trump said ISIS is Defeated, Say Wha! Oh I see Obama got Bin Laden and he thought he was going to top that by lying and saying he has gotten rid of ISIS as if this is a game.
That's the problem with Dems, you guys can't read! Isis Inspired! Inspired!! That's what the article says. Isis was Defeated in the Middle East! There are groups around the world with the same ideology! Islamic Terrorism will always be around!
So, the USA and UK fund Saudi....does this not mean you, in effect, fund these atrocities?
45 declares ISIS dead. Proven wrong in horrific manner.
CNN when I go duck hunting is it wise to say there is speculation on what my motive may be.? So why do you report so inanely on this subject.? As your own Erin Burnett asks, 'How stupid do you think we are.?'
Hmmm, interesting. What will our eloquent congresswoman Ilhan Omar say about that? Maybe just ‘some people did something’...
'inspired'' by isis? so the blame is on isis and not the ...you know who that lives there?
It will be interesting to find out who the intelligence agency that sent a memo to the government.
Well, as Democratic congresswoman Omar would say: “Some people did something”.
But they were defeated...
As a Muslim i fell guilty that a few persons destroys a religions name But all the muslims are with sri lanka much love Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Everybody so quick to blame Trump bc he said ISIS had been defeated, but as long as there are radical Islamic muslims out there, these events will continue across the world.
The Muslim religion is peaceful 🙄. So since every white person who isn’t politically correct is a white Supremacist does that make every Muslim that doesn’t denounce this a terrorist ?
'Inspired' by Isis - what does that mean?
It just seems PAINFULL for CNN to report that the bombings were by Islamist Terrorists!
Remember the orange baboon saying 'I have a plan to defeat ISIS in 30 days.' and 'I know more than the Generals do.'? His supporters still won't get their heads out of their asses. They're still stuck on Hillary's emails.
I could have told you that 5 minutes after it happened.
Is that true ?
Maybe a dumb question...but who funds ISIS? Is it individuals? Companies? State sponsored?
ISIS? But that's impossible....Trump said ISIS was defeated, was that a lie?
What the hell?
Some people bombed something.
What? The peaceful religion? 🥴
I was told the US defeated ISIS like 4 months ago, how can this be?
I thought trump defeated ISIS Was that a lie Hmmm....
But I thought.....
