CHRISTIANS IN SRI LANKA RESURRECTED WITH CHRIST ON THE EASTER MORNING
At least 207 people have been killed and 450
hurt in explosions at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka, police say.
Eight blasts were reported, including at
three churches in Negombo, Batticaloa and Colombo's Kochchikade district during
Easter services.
The Shangri-La, Kingsbury and Cinnamon Grand
hotels and one other, all in the capital, were also targeted.
A national curfew has been put in place
"until further notice" and social media networks have been
temporarily blocked.
A foreign ministry official has said at least
27 foreign nationals are among the dead.
Eight people have been arrested in connection
with a string of deadly blasts that killed more than 200 people in Sri Lanka on
Sunday, the country’s prime minister said.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said “so
far the names that have come up are local,” but that investigators would look
into whether the attackers had any “overseas links”.
