Yesterday's deadly, coordinated terrorist attacks have all the hallmarks of Al Qaeda. Odd how these coldblooded murders are getting less attention than the Mueller report and the attempts to impeach the President.
From the BBC, a list that demonstrates once again how evil and vicious these terrorists are, and why we need to be more vigilant here at home:
"Officials say 290 people were killed and another 500 injured in the suicide attacks
Most of the dead are Sri Lankan nationals, but 31 people from other countries are believed to have been killed
No-one has admitted carrying out the bombings. The government has blamed a local jihadist group known as the National Thowheed Jamath which it said had the support of an 'international network'
Police have so far arrested 24 people in a series of raids
There was another blast on Monday near a church in the capital, Colombo, as security forces tried to defuse explosives inside a vehicle used by the attackers
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has said authorities were 'aware of information' of possible attacks but the intelligence was not acted upon
A nationwide emergency, which will give police and military extensive powers to detain and interrogate suspects, will be declared from midnight (18:30 GMT) on Monday"
