Global shock from attacks in Sri Lanka on Catholic Easter Day: According to the latest report, at least 290 people were killed and 500 injured; this is the worst attack since the end of the civil war in the country 10 years ago. So far, suicide bombers have been behind two of a total of eight attacks on luxury hotels in Colombo and three crowded churches. There was also an explosion in a house in a suburb when a kamikaze woman detonated the explosives during a police raid.
Authorities have arrested 24 suspects. So far no one was able to send in the perfect solution, which is not strange.
Among the dead of the massacre are three of the four children of the richest man in Denmark and major shareholder of ASOS Men Hall Polsin. The US State Department has issued a travel directive stating that terrorists may have planned new attacks in Sri Lanka. According to the State Department, the targets may be tourist attractions, transportation hubs, shopping malls, hotels, places of worship and airports. After all, the police chief admitted that ten days ago he received the warning "from a foreign intelligence service" for the Islamist organization NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama'ath) - in Sri Lanka Muslims are a minority.
Until recently, the NTJ was known mainly for vandalizing Buddhist statues, but the signal from abroad spoke of suicide bombers attacking large churches. Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wikremessing also acknowledged the existence of this information.
Although no one has claimed responsibility so far, ISIS supporters are celebrating and claiming that this is the answer to the New Zealand massacre and the US and Western-backed operation against the Islamic State in Syria. Terrorism analysts say jihadist networks have been flooded with messages in support of the attacks and prayers for "Allah to receive the perpetrators", which may be an indirect admission of who planned the Sri Lankan massacre.
