Suicide bombers kill 207 in Easter terror attack on Christians in Sri Lanka: Terrorists hit churches and hotels leaving Americans and Brits among dead as TV chef and daughter are named as victims
At least 207 people have died after suspected suicide bombers blew up churches and five-star hotels in an Easter Sunday terror attack in Sri Lanka. The eight blasts today ripped through landmarks in Colombo and on Sri Lanka's east coast, targeting Christians, hotel guests and foreign tourists and leaving at least 450 people wounded. Six bombs went off in quick succession before another two blasts two hours later in Sri Lanka's worst violence since the end of its decades-long civil war in 2009.
The victims include at least 35 foreigners, believed to include Britons and Americans as well as nationals of Turkey, China, Portugal and the Netherlands. As details of the horror emerged today, TV chef Shantha Mayadunne and her London-based daughter Nisanga were among the first victims named. Meanwhile a manager at the Cinnamon Grand hotel in Colombo said the attacker had set off the horrific explosion in a packed restaurant at 8.30am after waiting in a queue for a breakfast buffet.
