Sri Lanka Bombings Live Updates: Terrorist Group Is Identified, and Death Toll Rises
NY Times ^ | April 22, 2019

• The Sri Lankan police have arrested 24 people in connection with a series of devastating suicide bombings at hotels and churches on Easter Sunday that left nearly 300 people dead and more than 500 injured.

• The government on Monday blamed National Thowheeth Jama’ath, a little-known radical Islamist organization, for the bombings. An official said the group, which had not carried out any serious attacks before, had help from “an international network.”

• Sri Lanka’s security forces were warned at least 10 days before the bombings that the group planned suicide attacks against churches, but apparently took no action against it, indicating a catastrophic intelligence failure. Top government officials say the warning never reached them.

If the explosives and or money can be traced to the Iranians, we should destroy every refinery in Iran. Starve the beast.

There are a LOT of things we should do.

But we won’t.

This nation has turned into a bunch of pansies.

Sri Lankha has had a long history of minority extremist based “immigration” of the Tamil people who have now begun to host Islamofascism via international connections to Isis and Al Qaeda.

Now this Buddhist nation must again root out these poor excuses for human beings and send them either to hell or back to where they came from.

And you can bet that it will be bloody, it always is in Sri Lankha, formerly the sight of wars among the gods in Hindu mythology, the land of the Rakshashas ( vampires).

Sri Lankha needs to join the inernational intel network now fighting against international terrorism.India should help.They have excellent intel thanks to Israel.

The Hindu Tamils have been there for two thousand years at least.

Muslim Tamils just for a few hundred years, and before now they werent especially troublesome.

Unlike America and UK/NZ/AUS/FR/GER, the Buddhist and Hindu on Sri Lanka will act. Buddhist and Hindu are really laid back until you cross the line, and then you’re in a world of hurt.

Mooselimbs are in a minority there (as are Christians and Hindu) but the Buddhists will probably punish them severely.

France, Germany, Scandinavia et al. better wake the hell up!

The terrorist group is known as Islam. It was started fourteen centuries ago by a madman named Mohammad to get people to join his terrorist organization which “legalized” rape, murder, robbery, etc.

Until people realized that Islam IS THE PROBLEM and must be exterminated, we will continue to see the slaughters of the last fourteen centuries continue.
