Source of bombings:
Excerpt: “According to reports, Sri Lanka’s police chief made a nationwide alert 10 days before today’s bomb attacks in the country that Islamic extremist suicide bombers planned to hit ‘prominent churches’.
Police chief Pujuth Jayasundara sent an intelligence warning to top officers on April 11 setting out the threat, sources say.
Excerpt: “A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama’ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo,’ said the alert.
The NTJ is a radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka that came to notice last year when it was linked to the vandalisation of Buddhist statues.”
Noticeably absent in the ABC News report was the word “Islamic”.
