Parliamentary member Harsha de Silva said foreigners were among the dead or injured, but did not provide further details.
Sec Defence and I am at Kochchikade church. Also was at ShangriLa n Kingsbury. PM is on his way from Bentota. Emergency meeting called in a few minutes. Rescue operations underway. Please stay calm and indoors. Many casualties including foreigners.No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks. But the Associated Press is reporting that seven suspects have been arrested.
Sri Lanka has been at times one of the most dangerous locations in the world for terrorist attacks. A civil war that raged for decades between the ruling government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam -- known colloquially as the Tamil Tigers or LTTE -- officially ended in 2009, but some conflict has continued. As many as 100,000 people were killed in the civil war from 1982 to 2009, according to the U.N.People gather outside St.
GIVE THE MONEY TO SRI LANKA. SCREW NOTRE DAME!
How much did realDonaldTrump help the three churches in the south? Stop with the robot answers, Donny.
Thank God he did
The true point is that Muslim terrorists are at it again and no one wants to comment on that. For every Christian, Jewish, Hindu, ect.. act of terrorism there are 1000 committed in the name of Islam. There is a MAJOR problem in that religion, dont even try the false equivalency.
barbi6bsm Does he even know where Sri Lanka is?
jasmin75015
realDonaldTrump couldn't find Sri Lanka on a map with a GPS unit, an Atlas and a seeing-eye dog. 😏
Love the jokes at the expense of the dead
He'll pledge help in the form of a box of Band-Aids then tell the Sri Lankans they should've all had guns to stop the bad guys.
How about assisting black churches burnt last week?
“We stand ready to help.” Really, Donald Trump - like we have helped Americans in Puerto Rico? Hard to blame folks who might want to pass on having paper towels thrown at them...
Rolls of paper towel ?
Can someone tell trump the number of deaths is 137!!!
Does he know where Sri Lanka is and that they don’t need paper towels?!
Hateful hypocrite!!!
For ones can we have peace.Homer happy about this. I remember what he said we have no room for anyone to many people.
He revised his count down substantially from the 138 million he originally claimed to have been killed Think of what it would take to inflict that Hiroshima? Hardly Nagasaki? Not even close Trump is a delusional ahlzeimic and he pretends to lead the free world
As if Trump gives a flying f**k, . Come on!
He couldn’t find it on a map if his life depended on it
You really don’t need to report on his tweet. Just re tweet. And it isn’t news worthy anyway.
thoughts and prayers aren’t enough, huh?
Why? Is he wanting to put a Trump Tower there?
Omg! Omg! I thought it was 138 million! /s
Meanwhile, flint
A tweet that's timely, on topic, and display's empathy? Okay...which staffer wrote this for Trump?
There is no way that he wrote that himself.
Puerto Rico belongs to the United States. If you're not going to help them first than give that territory to another country.
Bull-you don't care
But still, 45 has not said anything about the black churches being burned down in Louisiana
ReligionofPeace
The reason that killing won’t stop
But I thought you realDonaldTrump said that you had wiped out ISIS off the face of this Earth.
How confident can the leaders of other nations be in the US’ ability to provide aid when the president erroneously offers condolences for the death of 138M people? A Tweet is an inappropriate medium to offer sympathy, and to get it so grossly wrong, is vulgar.
Nope, you should include both tweets!!
You forgot to report, he corrected his initial tweet. Don’t give him a free pass. Accuracy matters.
🙏🕯😢😱😡🥵Unbelievable that it seem Hate and Envy are trying to run the World! Buy We the Loving People will face them with Faith and Tough Love!!!
Was the original tweet not 138 million
Another attack by the Muslim religion of peace.
Thoughts and prayers from jumbo.
This was Trumps original tweet
Let me take a wild guess here...... The Religion of peace? The PIG DEMON the prophet muhammad (may God curse his name) who serves the devil has cursed the lands where it is the rule of the land has struck again. The battle is coming are you getting prepared?
He’s lying he’s not going to help no one...he’s a racist!
He always willing to help not Americans because of good press. If you are an American in Michigan, California or Puerto Rico though, you haters can die.
A question - Did 45 offer condolences when three black churches were torched?
What a gracious man, finally someone brings back honor to America and Obama ruined our standing in the world
We still haven't helped the people hit by hurricanes in fl.. And we have turned our back on the people in Puerto Rico. trump gives lip service to humanitarian causes but spends the tax payers money on divisive unnecessary vanity projects.
Here is Trump’s original tweet where he said 138 million people were killed.
Yet our president was completely silent about a white supremacist burning down black churches in the USA.
Narrator: he didn’t write that.
No, he said 138 million people. facts
After trumps first tweet of 138 million.
Did he ask if they were 'colored people' ?
What is he trying to act human now?
Flint & Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 are like:
He first tweeted 138 million killed. 😳
It’s a safe bet that Trump didn’t write this tweet.
After his first announcement which said 138 million people died. How is that even an error?
BUT YOU WON'T DO A DAMN THING ABOUT RUSSIA'S ATTACK ON OUR OWN DEMOCRACY?
Unfortunately, trump is likely lying. Again.
Take of our country first and stop draining our money on all the trips you have partake in
Wow. Are you people actually more concerned about a tweet mistake than what actually happened? Should be ashamed of yourselves. I make mistakes all the time......called being human.
Let me me guess, kind words from the president are once again going to be twisted into something they're not. Am I in the ball park here? This has become too common.
Should someone tell him Sri Lanka is . . . Never mind
He hasn’t said a peep about the 3 historical black churches burnt to the ground in LA by a White man. Crickets! And that was over 3 weeks ago.
FYI : This was his first tweet that was up for 20 minutes
Where is IlhanMN’s statement?
We all nations should stand united against this terrorist attack and fight it globally irrespective of our religion and intensify our intelligence gathering to nab such culprits and freeze their accounts before such incidents occur in any parts of the world INTERPOL_HQ UN
Post his original tweet saying 138 million killed. Don’t cover up his blatant lack of care
Hey are you going to point out the hypocrisy? realDonaldTrump didn’t express any interest in the bombings of Black churches. Those were terrorist attacks too!!
That's not the president's account😂
50 people killed in New Zealand and you all were ready to convert to Islam.
Everywhere I look in the Democrat party media, this is the story. Not the actual killings themselves.
He was biting at the bit to condemn muslim terroists..😡🇺🇸
A church, around Easter date, seems way too familiar to be coincidence...
Hey friends, come check out the crazy liberals in this comment section. 😂 Jesus tds is so real 🤣
It was 138 million lol.
In another rushed tweet, he erroneously tweeted 138mil! It’s embarrassing!
I’m guessing intel told him ISIS is responsible.
Why ain't anybody saying Christians killed..like they would say Muslims killed In A mosque?
Remember when realDonaldTrump offered condolences when the 3 Louisiana churches were set on fire? Yeah, me neither.
Christian America is sad over this attack. We must continue our repentance to allow Gods blessings. The dnc socialists have to be defeated. 🇺🇸😔🦅
How will Trump help? He won’t. Look around.
I don't respect anything this man tweets or says. He has no sincerity in speech, no respect for facts, no remorse for those harmed, no compassion for the helpless, no moral compass in direction.
SriLanka Christianlivesmatter
Except, per usual, he got it wrong the first time lol
You dont care about Black people or 3 recent hate crimes for burning down
God bless President Trump. ☦️☦️☦️
Trump , you mistakingly said 138 million people. The tweet was deleted but it scares people. Be careful of your tweets. You are a President not a joker...
Why is this news?
This is why we need to impeach realDonaldTrump . I can't imagine there is a person on the planet who believes he has any sympathy for Sri Lanka at all. He's incapable of emotions that aren't centered on his wallet.
And then he’s back to the exoneration indoctrination campaign. Worst president ever.
legallybae The anti Trump clowns are out in full force today. On Easter. After Trump offers condolences for another terrorist attack against Christians by Islamic nuts. Classy.
He aint gonna help nobody
He won't lend a hand to people here who need it. He's spent so much time disregarding the world, and the world doesn't need a helping hand from someone who would expect something in return. Go back to stealing our taxpayer money for another round of cheating, I mean golf.
“138 million”—Being good with numbers, a Trump’s trait...A proof why Ivanka should run World Bank...
Perhaps Trump is willing to learn from others' example..
ABC fixed it can you imagine if it was 138 million people killed how big would the bomb be
I don't like the guy but it's sad that people are focussing on his first tweet than showing sadness and sympathy for those murdered in churches and hotels. For what? To score political points against the right Many Americans are so political and heartless, it's sickening
This tweet sounds like something an adult would say so I doubt Donald wrote it.
Lots noticed the auto correct but only the ass holes try to make a funny out of a tragedy , sad.
Resign. That’s how you can help.
That was a quicker response than Puerto Rico. What’s Trump gonna do, throw some more paper towels at them?
I'll let you into a little secret... I am so not fucking interested in what that cockwomble has to say, about anything, ever.
You can’t even get it right. He says 138, you say 137. Appalling, change your social media editor. Pathetic. By the way he originally said 138 million.
except his original tweet said 138 MILLION people and his minions said it was just a typo.
Don't you mean this one 😱
Generic insincere tweet. As usual.
JUST IN: Death toll rises to 190 after a series of explosions at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, according to an official with the Sri Lankan health ministry.
You are not going to show the tweet where he claim 138 million died?
Too bad he didn’t tweet that.
Really? People are dead celebrating Easter and you mock because of a type o. Your not cool over their.
Doesn't sound like something he'd tweet.
Still not grammatically correct.. but oh well. I'm sure he was told to act sincerely..
Trump doesn't have a heart!
I love it when he acts presidential and not a 5 year old throwing a tantrum on twitter.
Instead of... 'Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help!' 🤦♂️
Mr Covfefe off his meds again...
I see. Happy to help Sri Lanka but a big middle finger to US citizens living in Puerto Rico. Does he even know where Sri Lanka is?!?!?! It’s an island you know.
First he says 138 million killed now it's 138 we can't trust his words. No brains are drug up.
first tweet .... he is an idjiot
Revised down from 138 million
Wen he says sri Lanka he pronounces it Sherrri Lanka lol
close the borders....................................
And he got it wrong again.. it's than not that.
Thanks! This is extremely helpful for those of us who do not use Twitter.
138 million the first time.
*Cough* 138 million 🤦🏽♂️
Can't forget this was his first tweet about the indecent.
Wrong. He said 138 million people were killed. Stop glossing over Trump's moronic tweets.
