| (about 2 hours later) | |
| Three more people have died in a new explosion in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s largest city, shortly after some 160 people lost their lives in seven blasts that hit luxury hotels and Catholic churches during Easter celebrations. | |
| A suicide bomber killed three people in central Colombo, AFP reported, citing police. | |
| This adds to the seven explosions that have rocked three packed Catholic shrines and four high-end hotels in Sri Lanka so far on Sunday, as the island’s Christian worshippers were gathering for Easter masses. | |
| No group has so far claimed responsibility for the apparently coordinated attacks. Sri Lanka’s defense ministry has declared a curfew, which is set to last from 6pm to 6am. | |
