Latest on Sri Lanka attacks: - At least 290 people were killed and hundreds injured in explosions on Sunday - Eight blasts targeted hotels and churches - 24 people have been arrested - The government has placed a nationwide block on social media sites

The calm of Easter Sunday was shattered by gruesome bombings that killed at least 290 people in Sri Lankan churches and hotels.

Though it's not clear who's behind the eight explosions that forced the country of 21 million people to go on lockdown, they are"certainly acts of terror," said Manisha Gunasekera, high commissioner of Sri Lanka to the UK.An intelligence memo warning of a possible attack had circulated 10 days earlier, raising questions about whether more preventative measures could have been taken.

— Harsha de Silva April 21, 2019 "Horrible scenes, I saw many body parts strewn all over," de Silva said after visiting the Kochchikade church and Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo."We took multiple casualties to hospital. Hopefully saved many lives."De Silva said rescue operations were underway, adding that emergency crews were operating in"full force.

It was a local module of ISIS seeking revenge for Christchurch incident - Radical Islamist group called National Thoweeth Jama’ath was behind this - funded by Pakistan's LeT. Not just on 1 Church but at 7 places f Christian community areas. Shame radical islamist terror, ISIS!

Our messengers came to them with clarifications, but even after that, many of them continue to commit excesses in the land.

As Roman Catholic follower I condemned this attack may those perpetrators bring to book and face the laws accordingly.

Quran/Al-Maidah 32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel: that whoever kills a person—unless it is for murder or corruption on earth—it is as if he killed the whole of mankind; and whoever saves it, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind.

A truly devastating image following the cowardly attack yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers will be with those affected.

Since the MSM won’t say it. CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN

Mind boggling that these horrific acts were done to innocent people just because they believe in a different path to heaven.

Deep global power want to finish religions ! Christianity,judaism,islam.. I dont believe that muslims are responsible.

Very bad news and may God bless this people again and punishese the terrorists

'Several' Americans among 290 killed in Easter Sunday bombings in Sri LankaUPDATE: The death toll from the explosions in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday has jumped to 290. Over 500 people were wounded as well. The media is afraid to call it Islamic terrorism, but they wrote dozens of articles exaggerating a rise in white supremacist terrorism after the New Zealand attack! They forgot militant ISLAMIC group. Chill with the muslim censoring. Let's be adults about culprits, stats, and patterns and who the data points to. Math doesn't lie. Address it. The media is calling the National Thowfeek Jamaath 'local militant' instead of Islamic terrorism. They were eager to talk about White Supremacist terrorism for the New Zealand attack. I wonder why.
