At least 137 people were killed and hundreds more injured as several churches and hotels were rocked by simultaneous explosions on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka.

Eight explosions took place, including in three Christian churches and three hotels, some commonly used by foreign visitors. In addition to those who were killed at least another 500 were wounded, according to officials with police, the Colombo Hospital and St. Sebastian Church.

There were at least nine foreigners among the dead in Colombo, according to the officials. Two dual citizens of the U.S. and U.K. were among the dead, as well as one Portuguese citizen and two U.K. citizens, according to the Sri Lankan Ministry of Foreign Affairs. One American was also among the missing. All of the foreigners died in attacks on hotels.

President Donald Trump sent his condolences to the country in an early morning tweet from Mar-a-Lago, where he is spending the Easter holiday. He accidentally wrote "138 million people" were killed, however.

That’s true but then again I could be wrong. See my tagline.

Some day, 138 million people WILL be killed by these psycho muzzies.

And where are the prayer vigils for the black Christians in Nigeria who are constantly being killed in their houses of worship and elsewhere by murdering muslim savages?

Remember the “prayer vigils” when fifty muslims were killed in New Zealand? I’ve never seen any prayer vigils for the Christian Nigerians who have suffered and died on a consistent basis, nor any for the Coptic Christians in Egypt and elsewhere who have been murdered.
