We remember the 269 people killed and 500 people injured after the eight suicide bombing attacks in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, 2019.

An Islamic State-linked terrorist cell perpetrated eight suicide bombing attacks (person borne IEDs) in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. The first seven took place in the space of 20 minutes. The attacks targeted three churches and four luxury hotels, killing about 269 and injuring 500.

National Tawheed Jamaat, a local salafi-jihadi group, was behind the attack, and ISIS claimed responsibility. The bombers’ devices were packed with iron nails, ball bearings and TATP.

Exactly 7 years ago, on Easter Sunday 2019, Sri Lanka faced one of its darkest days as coordinated attacks struck churches and hotels, taking 269 lives, including 45 foreign nationals, and injuring 500 more 💔
A moment to pause, remember the victims, and stand in solidarity with all those affected 🙏

@ICCMediaComms Reading the decision he gave two different versions of the corrupt call, one in interview and one in his statement to the tribunal. Credit to the player who reported the approach immediately.

@munwarenj Interesting! Let’s see how the investigation goes. These sorts of incidents are a test for how seriously governing bodies take the integrity of the game. @BCBtigers
