Sri Lanka Attacks, Bombings Hundres of Christians, Buddhist, Hindus bombed, One Hundred more & Hospitalized?

The islamic Mohammedans Attack, Bomb 3 Hotels and Easter Churches across Sri Lanka Death Toll of Christians, Buddhist, Hindu into Hundreds, hundred more + hospitalized?


I see news feeds on twitter, instagram, livleak, facebook Sri Lanka’s state-run radio and news has reported that maybe hundreds have died in a series of Easter Sunday blasts targeting three churches and three hotels.

Can't say moslim yet ... it could be Amish or Black Panther or the KKK or a Buddhist monk?

Attacks maybe happened last night, media seems slow to pick the news up maybe they are waiting for the English Queen, Netanyahu, Kissinger, Rothschild or Euros like Macron to get out of bed before they can broadcast approved news

Alt-Right sites, radical Libertarian left blogs and Russia today, Aussie sites seem to be covering the news and bombs.

A Terror attack on churches and five-star hotels, some say it could be a moslem islamic terror group

Tourists also targeted, includes Americans, British nationals, tourists from USA, Netherlands and Portugal, many religious groups attacked.

Another war is coming?

Mangala Samaraweera, the country’s finance minister, said the attacks were an attempt to drag Sri Lanka back to the darkest days of its brutal civil war.

He said the bombings were “a diabolic attempt to create racial and religious tensions in this country yet again, thereby pulling the country backwards just as we as a country – economically, socially and otherwise – are recovering from the protracted war which destroyed the fabric of our nation for nearly 30 years”.

He continued: The bombings are not the doings of a fanatical individual. It’s obviously a highly coordinated attempt to create murder, mayhem and anarchy in the country.

"No group has yet to claim responsibility for the deadly Easter morning attack, though Sri Lankan Christians as a sizable minority at about 8% have reported at uptick of persecution and threats coming from Muslims and majority Buddhist population."

Time will tell who did this.

ETA: fwiw I don't think this needs a military response and I hope that doesn't happen. But when attacks like this have international victims and perhaps international perpetrators, I would hope Interpol would get involved and make sure any foreign nationals that did the attack, or may have helped, would also be brought to justice.

Sri Lanka Failed to Act on Warnings About Terrorist Group

Intelligence Pointed to Planned Attack by Radical Islamists
In the days before Sunday’s suicide attacks, the country’s security agencies had been closely watching a cell of the National Thowheeth Jama’ath.
But the government’s history of bitter infighting appears to have contributed to a spectacular security blunder that led to the deaths of nearly 300 people.

Officials said that the local group named in the attacks must have had help from “an international network.”

Of course their govt. knew. Governments always know, but what's a few hundred dead citizens as long as no one can call you Islamophobic. Can't have that for goodness sake! But dead innocents? … meh.
