Atentados de Páscoa matam centenas de pessoas no Sri Lanka

By Duncan Mil

April 22, 2019 - Ataques suicidas coordenados contra igrejas e hotéis de luxo no Sri Lanka no domingo de Páscoa mataram 290 pessoas, incluindo 32 estrangeiros, e feriram mais de 500.

The targets included St Anthony’s Shrine, Colombo; St. Sebastian’s, Negombo; Zion Church, Batticaloa; Kingsbury Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel, and Cinnamon Grand in Colombo. There were two explosions during police raids in Colombo, and a pipe bomb was defused near Colombo’s main airport on Sunday night.

Foreigners killed include British citizens, and U.S., Turkish, Indian, Chinese, Danish, Dutch and Portuguese nationals

Around 7.6 per cent of mainly Buddhist Sri Lanka is Catholic, but the religion is seen as a unifying force because it includes both Tamil and majority Sinhalese ethnic groups.
