Bull-shevik....... All evil in the world today leads back to the US, Israel and Britain. Why Sri Lanka with a tiny Christian population as well as a Muslim. They are mostly Buddhist there. This is most likely a retaliation lead by the dark US to castrate Sri Lanka for their ties to Palestine and friendship towards China. It is probably a warning sign to similar countries that will not take a knee. Jesus, this pisses me off and I hope that normal Muslins and Christians can see through this garbage as well and the fact that they are being used. God bless all victims of both the New Zealand massacre and the Sri Lanka massacre and I hope that justice will be served to those both directly and indirectly responsible. Muslims and Christians should find some common ground and unite against the manipulation from the countries I mentioned above. Justice is needed more ever today.
On Sunday, Sri Lanka’s Capital Colombo was hit by a series of coordinated bombings in churches and hotels that killed at least 310 people and left another 500 injured.
Sri Lanka's Defence Minister Ruwan Wijewardene, addressing the island nation's parliament, said that the attack was carried out in response to the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand, which targeted Muslims.
"Investigations reveal that this attack was carried out in response to the Christchurch Mosque Attack in New Zealand on Muslims. There was a security lapse leading to this devastation in Sri Lanka," he said.
He added that two domestic Islamist organisations are responsible for the attacks.
"This National Tawheed Jamath group, which carried out the attacks, had close links with JMI, it has now been revealed," Wijewardene said.
In turn, the nation's former president, opposition leader Mahinda Rajapakshe said that a government that cannot ensure the safety of its citizens is of no use.
"When I handed over the government, it was free of terrorism. No such attack would have happened on our watch," he stressed.

In turn, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's office said that has "not yet seen" any intelligence reports linking Sri Lanka attacks and Christchurch mosque massacre.
"We understand the Sri Lankan investigation into the attack is in its early stages," the spokesperson said. "New Zealand has not yet seen any intelligence upon which such an assessment might be based."
Multiple explosions took place in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, hitting several churches with Catholic worshippers as well as hotels in Colombo and other cities.
Colombo has launched a massive security operation in the wake of the tragedy. As of Monday, at least 29 people were detained in connection with the attacks.
