Also the fact that these bombs caused such damage seems a very sophisticated effort. It must have some major links behind it. | | | | |

I'm reading a small domestic Muslim extremist group which seen as it was western hotels and churches targeted, would seem to fit. Must have been backed from elsewhere though. | | | |

Death toll at 290 now on 17:28 - Apr 22 with 1080 views | Lord_Lucan | NY Times - The government on Monday blamed a little-known radical Islamist group for the devastating Easter Sunday suicide bombings that killed nearly 300 people. Officials said the group, which had not carried out any serious attacks before, had received help from an international terrorist organization. - Sri Lanka’s security forces were warned at least 10 days before the bombings that the militant group was planning attacks against churches, but apparently took no action against it, indicating a catastrophic intelligence failure. Top government officials say the warning never reached them. - The Sri Lankan police have arrested 24 people in connection with the explosions at hotels and churches. | |

No. That's very much a hippy Western view of Buddhism. Violent Buddhist chauvinism is a growing issue, but historically there have been plenty of aggressive Buddhist (even theocratic) states. In any case, this appears to have been an extremist Muslim group, not Buddhist. | |

If ever there was a 100 pager it would be Islamic Fundamentalists blowing up Bentley Green. | |

It can be seen from the moon with the naked eye perhaps we shouldn’t joke about things like this. | | | |
