Sri Lanka Easter bombing attacks toll hits 290, with 500 wounded


(Worthy News) – At least 290 people were killed in a series of bomb blasts that tore through churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka, in the worst violence to hit the island since its devastating civil war ended a decade ago.

Eight apparently coordinated explosions targeted Easter worshipers and high end hotels popular with international guests.

The horrific death toll, which has risen dramatically overnight, was given on Monday morning by a police spokesman, who said a further 500 people had been wounded. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
