40 Suspects Arrested In Sri Lanka Blast

It surely was a black day for Sri Lanka, not only for Sri Lanka but for the entire human race. The country was shaken with the bomb blast at St. Sebastian Church in Negombo, Sri Lanka on Monday, April 22, 2019.

Not only at the churches there was bomb blast at luxury hotels, and other sites which were Sri Lanka's deadliest violence since a devastating civil war in the South Asian island nation ended a decade ago.

From Tuesday an effect for the state of emergency took place by which the wartime powers were allotted to Sri Lankan military. Police arrested 40 suspects, including the driver of a van allegedly used by suicide bombers involved in deadly Easter bombings and the owner of a house where some of them lived.

The six near-simultaneous attacks on three churches and three luxury hotels and three related blasts later Sunday. The government blocked most social media so that no false information would arise. Even after an overnight, nationwide curfew was lifted, the streets of central Colombo remained mostly deserted and shops closed as armed soldiers stood guard.
