BREAKING: Sri Lanka Confirms Islamist Terror Group National Thowheed Jamath Behind Easter Sunday Attack That Killed 290

Sri Lanka has held local jihadist group National Thowheed Jamath responsible for the deadly terror attacks that killed at least 290 people on Easter Sunday (21 April) at churches and luxury hotels across the country.

Sri Lankan Cabinet spokesman Rajitha Senaratne said the bombings were carried out with the help of an international network.

Sri Lankan Police have so far arrested 24 suspects in connection with the country's worst attacks since the end of the catastrophic civil war in 2009.

The Government also admitted said it had been warned at least three times in recent weeks that a possible terror attack during the holy holiday was imminent. One of the alerts reportedly came 10 minutes before the massacre, which the government has said was carried out by suicide bombers.

National Thowheed Jamath shot into prominence mainly in Sri Lanka for vandalising Buddhist statues. In 2016, its secretary, Abdul Razik, was arrested on charges of inciting racism.

Why does no one ask what kind of hate speeches and ideology of hate inspire the Sri Lanka terror attack as they asked for New Zealand?

When will the Muslims of Sri Lanka wear Christian garb, call for moments of prayer, and ban semi-automatics weapons like the Kiwis did when only 1/6th (approx) as many Muslims were killed?
