CNN)At least 138 people have been killed and more than 560 injured after a series of coordinated bomb blasts at a number of high-end hotels and churches across Sri Lanka on Sunday morning.
The blasts, reported to have occurred at churches in Kochchikade, Negombo and Batticaloa, targeted worshippers as they attended Easter services. Additional blasts ripped through three hotels, the Shangri La, Cinnamon Grand and Kingsbury Hotel, all in the capital, Colombo, according to state broadcaster SLRC.
At least nine foreigners are among at least 50 dead at the Colombo National Hospital following the explosions, according to hospital sources. In total, more than 260 people injured in the blasts have been admitted to the hospital in the wake of the attack.

More than 35 people were injured in the explosion at Katuwapitiya Church in Negombo, while more than 300 people have been hospitalized following the blast at the Zion Church in Batticaloa.
The death toll was expected to rise further.
Sri Lankan security officials said police and security services immediately rushed to all affected areas and sealed off the churches and hotels.
In a statement, the Shangri-La hotel in Colombo said that the hotel's Table One cafe was hit just after 9 a.m local time. The hotel is popular with foreign tourists and the country's business community.

Aah yes, the religion of peace strikes again....someone tell me islam is not the dregs of humanity...
Oooops maybe I made a mistake...maybe it could have been the jehovahs witnesses...or maybe the seventh day
adventists......
I wonder if there will be a media blackout of all details of the attackers like the NZ massacre...you would expect
that consistency now wouldnt you, seeing that the precedent has occurred...
It will be very interesting to see how this attack is covered/treated in comparison to the NZ massacre....
To discover those who rule over you, first discover those who you cannot criticize...Voltaire
Its coming...the rest of the world versus islam....or is it here already...

Morrison just gave us a spiel as to how heartbroken he is.....never ever pass up a tragedy to get your
ugly face on TV in a pretense to be human...who knows...might get a few more votes if he cries a bit....

Oooh please, dont give him credit for doing something which should be automatic for a PM/Opposition Leader...
This is not a genuine attempt by Morrison or Shorten to be concerned/heartbroken/shocked.....they are choreographed
performances in an attempt to gain votes from suckers by pretending to be human....cant you see through their charades....
Theyre both as false as a three dollar bill......

Shocking thing. Anyone who apologises for these animals should be scooped up and dropped in the ME without a parachute. By apologising I also mean just ignoring these atrocities and/or trying to say Christians are more responsible for terrorism :roll:

Sri Lanka is mainly buddhist...less than 10% are christian...which churches were targeted....catholic...
Its being reported even now that returning isis fighters could be to blame.....
Figure it out for yourself...just another attack by the scum of the earth...islam....(I have been made victorious through terror....mohammed...)
When are we going to start fighting back.....
