New Delhi [India], April 3 (ANI): As Easter Sunday approaches this year, it is time to take stock of the developments following the series of bomb blasts on April 21, 2019 that ripped through churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka, killing over 250 people and injuring hundreds.
The explosions targeted Christians at Easter Sunday church services in Colombo, Negombo and Batticaloa, and tourists staying in luxury hotels in the capital. The toll puts the attacks on par with the deadliest atrocities since the 9/11 attacks in the United States
Throughout the morning and afternoon, in and around the capital, Colombo, Negombo, and in the eastern city of Batticaloa, the bombs went off at churches and upscale hotels.
