At least 290 people were killed and around 500 others injured in a string of eight powerful blasts, including suicide attacks, that struck three churches and luxury hotels frequented by foreigners in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, shattering a decade of peace in the island nation after the end of the brutal civil war with the LTTE. Countries from across the globe, including the US, the UK, Russia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh expressed shock and condemnation over the deadly blasts at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.
Sri Lankan authorities have arrested 24 people from the minority Muslim community in connection with the multiple blasts that rocked the island nation. However, the government said they will not disclose the details of the suspects involved in the attacks to prevent them from getting publicity. According to PTI, police officials privately said the suspects were all from the minority Muslim community.
But this not the only barbaric and deadly attack that took place in the world. There are more such attacks that rocked the world where more than 200 people were killed.
