Sri Lanka's Special Task Force (STF) raided a house in Orugodawatta, in the capital Colombo, following a series of blasts across the country Sunday


30 foreigners among hundreds killed

Among the dead are around 30 foreigners, according to Sri Lankan Minister of Economic Reforms and Public Distribution, Harsha de Silva, citing defense officials.
These include:

• Two Turkish citizens, according to Turkish state news agency Anadolu.
• One Dutch person, according to Netherlands Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stef Blok.

Some British citizens were also "caught in the blast," said British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, James Dauris. The Commissioner was unable to put a figure on the number affected.



Church roofs destroyed, pools of blood on floors

Journalists have described the horror inside churches and hotels destroyed in Sunday's coordinated attacks.
At St. Anthony's Church in Colombo, one AFP photographer saw bodies lying on the floor, some draped with scarves and clothes.
The photographer said much of the church roof had been blown off in the explosion, with tiles, glass and splintered wood littering the floor -- along with pools of blood.

I wonder who is responsible????

I'm sure that the media will find an easy way to implicate President Trump.

Perhaps it was an electrical malfunction.

Seven people are under arrest following the attacks, De Silva wrote after an emergency meeting with defense officials.


There was however no immediate claim of responsibility. Sri Lankan security officials said police and security services immediately rushed to all affected areas and sealed off the churches and hotels.

Over 200 dead. I read Brits and Americans confirmed among
the dead.

That area had really calmed down and was now a
popular tourist destination.

Perhaps it was an electrical malfunction.

or a computer glitch, they need to get computers that give you a blue screen and shut down instead of catching on fire and blowing up.

All that is being said about the perpetrators is that they are religious fanatics which I've come to learn generally means Muslims. When other religions commit acts of terrorism the media and foreign governments immediately name them. When the terrorists are Muslims the tend to beat around the bush for as long as they can get away with it.

Why do Muslims get this kind of protection? Could it be... Satan?
