Earlier today I heard 3 churches and 3 hotels, then a little later, they were still having explosions, up to 9 locations and that was before 6 pm Sunday.

මොහොමඩ් සහරාන් (Mohammad CASSIM SARAN sp?) has been on the radar for a few years as he has been trying to establish a local Daesh.

7 min: Former intelligence officer Clive Williams talks to Gareth about the deadly attacks in Sri Lanka. Mr Williams says a smaller fundamentalist group, the NTJ, is most likely responsible for the attacks. https://www.6pr.com.au/podcast/easter-attacks-in-sri-lanka-who-is-responsible/

Perhaps Lashkar-e-Taiba was assisting with the planning?

Crawl at bottom of screen:

Every month about 105 churches or Christian buildings are burned or attacTed

And: 1 in 9 Christians experience persecution

&

Every month about 145 are killed for being Christians

Correction in last sentence

Should be 345

[Jane Long]

Lou Dobbs had a graphic with these stats, on his show, tonight....

Attacks on Christianity

345 Christians killed each month
105 Churches burned or attacked
4,136 Christians killed worldwide annually

Lou also asked why Sri Lanka officials ignored the warnings given TWO WEEKS ago, by US and India, that could’ve prevented such horrific loss of life.

[AdmSmith]

India did it:
In a charge that might seriously impair New Delhi-Colombo relations, Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena on Tuesday accused India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) of plotting his assassination.

At the weekly Cabinet meeting, Mr. Sirisena told Ministers that the Indian intelligence agency was “trying to kill” him, but “Prime Minister Narendra Modi may not be aware of the plan,” The Hindu has learnt from sources present at the discussion.

Pakistan did it:
Terror group National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ) who was behind the deadly bombings in #SriLanka is allegedly funded and supported by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
ISI has been using Idara Khidmat-e-Khalq (IKK) to radicalize Muslims youths in Sri Lanka and join NTJ.

Isis/Daesh did it:
Islamic State on Tuesday claiming responsibility on its official Amaq news agency, saying that according to “security sources” fighters with Isil carried out the suicide bombings which killed 321.

Oh good

I saw them on the T Carlson show

Correct one of the numbers to 345 in my following comment

Glad this is getting wide spread

Thanks for the stat confirmation

Yeah warnings ignored what a shame

I see there is now a FR thread showing that it was ISIS

45 sec of allegiance.

[AdmSmith]

If you listen to the allegiance in the post above at the end they shout Takbir. and before that they repeat what the leader says. This indicates that they are reading from a text that says “takbir” without knowing that that is the name of the specific procedure to actually shout allahu abhar according to this:

(a) It must be in the approved form, i.e. ‘Allahu Akbar’ without any addition or change and without joining it with other wordings.
(b) It must be in correct Arabic.
(c) It must be said while standing (details will come afterwards).
(d) Body must be in ‘tama’ninat’ (not moving, but still).
(e) Muwalaat: The letters and words should be recited one after another without gap.

My preliminary conclusion is that none of them are fluent speaker of Arabic, and can not even follow a written text. They are just reciting.

ISIS released a follow-up statement claiming that nearly “1,000 Crusaders” were killed and wounded in the Sri Lanka attacks. The statement named seven inghimasi (i.e., deep-strike) attackers: Abu ‘Ubaida, Abu Al-Mukhtar, Abu Khalil, Abu Hamza, Abu Al-Bara’, Abu Muhammad, and Abu Abdallah.
