More than 200 people were killed and hundreds more hospitalised from injuries following a series of blasts devastated three churches and three luxury hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, breitbart.com reports.
The targets were Catholic worshippers attending Easter Mass as well as guests at high-end hotels popular with foreign tourists.
Two of the blasts were suspected to have been suicide bomber attacks, based on one official who spoke to the Associated Press (AP) on condition of anonymity.
Worshippers and hotel guests were among the fatalities, the official said, in the biggest violence in the South Asian country since its civil war ended a decade earlier. Nine foreigners were among the dead, officials confirmed.
The three hotels struck were the Shangri-La Colombo, Kingsbury Hotel in Colombo and the Cinnamon Grand Colombo.
