For what it's worth, the most recent caution regarding travel to Sri Lanka occurred back in March and was regarding student protests around the U.S. Embassy. So apparently they did not share the intel.

Social Media shut down to prevent hatred spreading on line. Most likely they have strict gun laws. Yes their gun laws are restrictive.
