    At least 207 people have been killed and 450 more injured in a series of explosions targeting churches holding Easter services and hotels in Sri Lanka.


    Most of the dead are believed to have been Sri Lankans, with officials saying about 30 people from other countries have lost their lives.
    The Guardian understands that British tourists are believed to be among those killed.


    No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks but Sri Lanka’s defence minister, Ruwan Wijewardene, said the culprits had been identified and were religious extremists. He said suicide bombers were responsible for the majority of the morning’s bombings and that the wave of attacks was the work of a single group.

    Religious extremists? Suicide bombers? I wonder what religion it could be.
