Sri Lanka attacks: 'International network' linked to bombings
BBCNews ^ | Apr. 22, 2019 | BBC

A wave of bombings that killed 290 people in Sri Lanka on Sunday was carried out with the support of an international network, officials said.

The government has blamed a little-known local jihadist group, National Thowheed Jamath, although no-one has yet admitted carrying out the bombings.

Another 500 people were injured in the suicide attacks on churches and hotels.

Police arrested 24 people in a series of raids and the president's office declared a state of national emergency.

You have to look hard for reporting that this was another religion of peace atrocity. The compromised media are so worried about provoking a backlash.

This is the difference between supposed Christian Violence and Muslim violence. When violence is carried out against Muslims, it’s invariably a lone nut. When it’s carried out by Muslims against Christians, it’s groups and syndicates.

Has anyone seen them? Can we say with certainty they were not among the suicide bombers who carried out the attack?

I’m surprised, given the empirical data, that islam itself isn’t scrutinized more closely as a primary source of terrorism. Perhaps we need a bumbling french criminal detective.

IMHO Most people are not interested in the fundamentals of their own religion, and are content with having other people , like priests, ministers etc. tell them what it is all about.

Being interested in the details of someone else's religion is a non- starter. They just want the Reader's Digest version, or it explained in 25 words or less. - Tom

Americans, you better wise up and take heed and note of the Sri Lanka bombing attacks. I, myself, alone also believe that the fire that destroyed a good portion of the Paris “Notre Dame” Cathedral was purposely set off by terrorists. Time will tell. Right now the French government is covering everything over...but, the truth will opt, one way or the other. We shall see as time passes by.

Now...you all go out and vote for the Democrat Party who will do as Obama did, doing nothing to protect you and families. My heart broke when I saw our frightened naval seamen at the harsh arrest hands of the Iranian Navy and, Obama hide out of sight. More is coming from your beloved Democrats. The small Democrat Party, Muslim cliche is chugging along in the House of Representatives and Speaker, Nancy Pelosi can do nothing to stop or control them...weak sister, that she is.

Wake up...folks the handwriting of what is coming is clearly written on all walls to see!!! I suggest you pay serious attention to whom, you give your vote!!!

“Some people did something, again.”

They sure did. Obummer and Hitlery couldn’t even say the Word “Christians” in their phony baloney statements... “They were “just some people attending “Easter Service”

In terms of human development-there are oceans of blood between that mentality and everyone else!

They are not fully evolved... there are chromosomes missing, for sure
