Edit: Politiken i SL börjar nu öppet ställa den jobbiga typen av frågor.

” Leader of the House Lakshman Kiriella today (24) questioned whether those in the country's National Security Council (NSC) and some officers in the intelligence agencies were playing politics in the lead-up to and aftermath of the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks.”
“ "Who are they serving if they aren't keeping the President, PM and State Defence Minister informed of such threats? The security establishment cannot play politics," he asserted.”
Här påstås att även presidenten var utanför ”informations-loopen”.
Edit II: Det hade kunnat vara ännu värre.
Bombaren i Batticaloa kom försent för mässan i den katolska kyrkan. Pastorn hade startat mässan tidigare och de flesta hade redan hunnit lämna kyrkan. Den mässan hade haft nästan 1000 besökare.
Då gick bombaren till den intill-liggande och mycket mindre pingstkyrkan istället och dödade 28 personer, varav 14 barn.

"The male suicide bomber, identified as ‘Umar’ from the eastern town of Oddamavadi, blew himself up in the Zion Church in Central Road, Batticaloa at around 9 am just as mass was to start, claiming 28 lives, including 14 children, and injuring scores more.
Church sources and residents said a suspicious character had first gone to the St. Mary’s Catholic Cathedral on the same road opposite St. Michael’s Boys’ school at 8.30 am and had made inquiries about the mass there. This was confirmed by Batticaloa Bishop Rt. Rev. Joseph Ponniah.
A catholic priest said the suspect had been seen lurking around the Cathedral the previous day as well. “The priest in charge had called the Easter Service early, and began at 7 am instead of 7.30 am. By 8.30 am most of the congregation had left,” he said, adding that about 1000 persons had attended the catholic mass on Easter Sunday."
