Christians and foreigners were targeted in bombings in formerly Ceylon, near India.
209 dead I assume many wounded as churches and hotels were bombed on Easter Sunday.
RIP

Allegedly. We can't jump to conclusions. Too soon to speculate. Some people did something.
'A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama'ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo,' the alert said.
The NTJ is a radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka that was linked last year to the vandalisation of Buddhist statues.

Sri Lanka bomber queued for buffet then unleashed bomb strapped to his back in crowded hotel restaurant.
Checked in night before as Mohamed Azzam Mohamed.
Could be a fake name, since Mohammed was misspelled twice.

The government there shut down most social media to “stop fake news”. I get why they did it, they wanted to stop a possible civil war again.

Obama and Hillary like to refer to the victims as Easter Worshipers, not Christians.

People notice a van parked across the street from the church. Police attempting to defuse the bombs inside set it off. At the end of the story it lists the worldwide Christian church church attacks in the last few years. Apparently many ISIS fighters have returned home according to the article.
