Suicide bombers: Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. (Quran 9:111)
More on this story. Blasts at Sri Lanka hotels and churches kill 156, AFP, April 21, 2019:
A string of blasts ripped through high-end hotels and churches holding Easter services in Sri Lanka on Sunday, killing at least 156 people, including 35 foreigners.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe condemned the attacks as cowardly and said the government was working to contain the situation.
Images circulating on social media and local news stations showed extensive damage at one of three churches targeted in the near simultaneous blasts on Sunday morning.
Much of the church roof was blown out in the explosion, with roof tiles and splintered wood littering the floor and pools of blood in between wounded worshippers.
The injured flooded into local hospitals, where officials reported hundreds of wounded were being admitted.
The nature of the blasts was not immediately clear and there were no immediate claims of responsibility.
But documents seen by AFP show that Sri Lankas police chief Pujuth Jayasundara issued an intelligence alert to top officers 10 days ago, warning that suicide bombers planned to hit prominent churches.
A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jamaath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo, the alert said.
The NTJ is a radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka that was linked last year to the vandalisation of Buddhist statues
Good lord please stop! About 2/3 of the post on the thread are either islamist crap or Catholic investigation themes.
It’s getting boring
Was listening to the radio tonight, our mainstream press is apparently going to try to spin the islamist attack as “part of rising nationalism.”
Dear God: You can obliterate Mecca any time now. That centuries old experiment has failed miserably.
please be advised; notre dame was a cigarette.
Not surprised...time to outlaw Islam...
