Securitatea a fost întărită duminică în jurul bisericilor din Sri Lanka cu ocazia ceremoniilor de Paştele catolic, la doi ani după atentatele sinucigaşe jihadiste care au făcut 279 de morţi în aprilie 2019, a informat poliţia, transmite AFP, scrie Agerpres. În aprilie 2019, duminica Paştelui a fost însângerată de atentate sinucigaşe comise în trei biserici şi trei hoteluri de lux. Peste 200 de arestări au avut loc în legătură cu aceste atentate, atribuite unei organizaţii jihadiste locale, însă nimeni nu a fost inculpat până acum. Şeful Bisericii catolice din Sri Lanka, cardinalul Malcolm Ranjith, a dat recent termen guvernului până la 21 aprilie pentru ca ancheta să avanseze, în caz contrar urmând să cheme la manifestaţii în întreaga ţară.
