Ten thousand people were warned before the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka
Earlier this week, Nilantha Jayawardena, former Director of the State Intelligence Service, told the special Presidential Commission of Inquiry into Easter Sunday Attacks that reports about a possible terrorist operation had been known as early as the 4th of April, days before the 2019 Easter bombings in Sri Lanka.
In 2019, some 350 people were killed in the bombing in a Sri Lankan church while attending an Easter morning Mass. According to recent information from Nilantha Jayawardena, the catastrophe could have been avoided, because ten thousand people had been informed about the attack in advance. The warning about the attack had been shared with 10,000 people, including 8,000 police officers in the Western Province.
Unfortunately, despite these early warnings, authorities in Sri Lanka were unable to protect the Christian community from a terrorist attack which led to the single worst incident of Christian persecution in Sri Lanka’s history.
