Coordinated bombings rock churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, killing at least 290 people, these are the 6 things you need to know about Sri Lanka's bombings:
Sri Lanka's health minister has claimed that a local organisation was linked to the string of bombings that killed nearly 300 people and wounded 500 others.
Rajitha Senaratne on Monday blamed President Maithripala Sirisena's government for failing to act on intelligence inputs shared 14 days before the multiple blasts that targeted churches and luxury hotels across the island nation.
Speaking at a press conference in the capital Colombo, Rajitha Senaratne said that failure to act against National Thowheeth Jama’ath, a hardline Muslim local organisation, has devastated the entire country.
"Unfortunately, despite all these revelations by the intelligence units we could not avert these attacks," Senaratne who is also the Cabinet spokesman, said.
The government on Monday declared April 23 as a day of national mourning following the worst attack in the Indian Ocean island nation since its civil war ended a decade ago.
Senaratne's criticism of President Sirisena, who heads the security forces, comes a day after Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe acknowledged that "information was there" about possible attacks.
"We must also look into why adequate precautions were not taken," he said on Sunday.
Ties between the two leaders are at an all-time low following Sirisena's sacking of Wickremesinghe in October. The move triggered a weeks-long political crisis that ended only when the Supreme Court overturned that decision.
