‘St Anthony’s Shrine, a Catholic Church’ in Kochchikade, Colombo, and another church in Katuwapitiya, Katana, were also targeted in the attack.

It’s possible it was Muslims. They’re 10% of the population. There has been so much violence between Hindus and Buddhists (or Tamil and Sinhalese) that it’s hard to say who is behind it. Some of the Tamil are Muslim, as are the small number of Malays. Christians can be Tamil, Sinhalese or mixed race Burghers. It’s complicated.
