I wonder who will claim responsibility for these terrorist attacks? So sad, any day but especially on this Holy Day.

I just found out about this an hour ago. Truly a despicable act.

A locally small minority faith attacking an even smaller one local to Sri Lanka where other political groups have done much more damage seems odd. I would withhold the usual suspects round up in this case.

Who says they’re local Muslims? Their location means they could have come from India or Pakistan or any of a number of Islamic regions in Asia.

Over 200 dead and over 400 injured and it could have been much worse. A six foot long (roughly two meters) pipe bomb was found at the airport in Sri Lanka.

Some more details suggesting a local Islamic terrorist group. But were they working totally alone, considering all the organization needed?

Just yesterday a friend of mine was showing me his pictures of a recent trip to the beautiful island of Sri Lanka. I wake up this morning to this tragic news. My thoughts and heart go out to the people or Sri Lanka.


The religion of "peace" strikes yet again.
