it everything going down with the thought it was just all over the place it was watergate and he couldn't pretend like that going obvious to me by then i looked for a doctor and saw her shining at the back of the church. of anonymous torchwood in a way and god named jennifer one of. the clock it's anathema is still mocks the exact time the bomb tore through the church. oxman remembers worshippers fleeing in a state of shock panic and chaos for little and their what out of the given the order that would be carried to injure a dog and to order the. killer you know there were cops as filed on top of each other because of bloody see that it. shattered broken limbs blood covering hands and feet that it was a sight that was hard to see. the floor in the church was covered in blood and flesh oculus at the border is that the sound of the screams are still ringing in my

ears the baby screaming in the past i granted to the church. i can't get it out of my head. it was only later that laxman realized the magnitude of what had happened. in the. morning when i didn't realize it was a bomb blast right or transformer head explode or a little something. really benign as i went to the hospital in a song many who tell me this coming in for that only then didn't realize it who does had also been attacked. more than 250 people were killed and 500 injured in the coordinated attacks by 9 suicide bombers. along with the naturally strives over 20 horrifying minutes the bombers heat 3 luxury hotels in downtown colombo. the group also attacked 2 other churches in the towns of new combo and batticaloa.

it was site sebastian's in the gumbo that suffered the most casualties. father nuristan pereira shows me where it happened. he entered from this door with a heavy legged lie there is. 53 camera. in that tree and he was a stand in here then. there are. people sitting on the pews. the whole entire area read the body part of your. read this well off the blood around 100 entertain my close friends my villages died in these parts. that it is. the sun bad weather thing. at the time father pereira was preaching as another church rushed to st

sebastian when he heard his congregation was under attack is alive you lived for years so why your doing as of producing these. so my friends. and deal and they are all in this case you're a spiritual man turns such a horrific thought like that test one spy. that is very difficult to express personally according to our hearts and mine i fear that while he'd get it through. he has taken the sway of friends and my balls to their hair and by that. 2 days later father pereira began burying the dead. body in them it is maybe

painful for me but i try my best to give them a better service at the last news not the last great we had it is i mean yes the body for a place each one each one to put it. on the other side of the country you pass a koloa zion even jellicoe church most of the victims the truth of. the muslim man this is the last song this hang up the sunday school. cow show your thump of creamer and her husband's a showing me the last images of the 2 children film just minutes before the bomb blast. went to go out after this performance the sunday school teacher asked them to the few had to face dead who would die for jesus then all of them raised their

hands. because their soon after that to stop the bomb blast happened. show here says she's been unable to leave her house since their deaths. her youngest child continues to ask about her all the siblings. and belongings scattered around their home bring memories flooding back and there were no money like it my son played the guitar very well the guitar still here. i cannot forget the time when we read together as a family he'd play the guitar while i'd sing. downside of my daughter would laugh and dance with her younger sister helen whenever i think of that my house feels so empty that there's no noise at all that i can take it when i think

of it. says the cruelest thing is knowing that the bombings could have been prevented sri lanka's government was warned repeatedly by local and foreign security agencies that an attack was imminent if i don't know that those who knew about it could have addressed the situation or planned this attack would never have happened to the children. i want to be filled out but we can't do anything to them and say god has to do that. in late 28 days the sri lankan president 5 the prime minister claiming he was doing little to investigate an alleged plot to assassinate. it led to 7 weeks the political infighting and the constitutional crisis into the prime minister was reinstated.

chumpy co run a waka is one of several cabinet ministers who say this rift between sri lanka's leighton's resulted in them ignoring the warnings. as a minister of this government i must separate i am ashamed. of the concrete do you know what that kind of calamity. actually that president and prime minister and a whole garment should apologize to the people that. the suicide bomber who coordinated the attacks started on hush him was a firebrand cleric aligned with a little known muslim group called the national towie jumma or n.t. jag. attracting thousands of followers through his online sermons the. 31 year old pledged allegiance to asses shortly before the bombings. historically the tensions between the muslim community and the christian community that hasn't

really played out here to where they it's played out in certain other parts of the world that tells me that the people who did it ideologically what a lot more in tune with global fundamentalism than with a grassroots sense of persecution so i would say it's quite possible that as isis loses ground in places like iraq and syria they seem to be looking at south india and sri lanka the subcontinent in general lanthorn nurofen is a counterterrorism advisor to the armed forces there have been several signs that radicalization extremism is becoming a problem in this country but for whatever reason some were dismissed as being prejudiced and racist and i think we were we were all so busy patting ourselves on the back for coming out of the war and building a liberal politically correct society that we really missed a trick here in terms of keeping an eye on our own safety. since 2001

muslims have been the target of riots by singhalese buddhist nationalist groups then like last year that runs followers were accused of retaliation by singing buddhist statues. the police investigation uncovered a large cache of explosives which shocked rather kill and other thing in muslim politicians in true lanka's government we ministers brought it up in the cabinet twice. in front of the president and prime minister that all of us believe there is a very sinister force at work and we need the government to take quick action to prevent. something that could be much worse and harmful. but he says nothing was done. it was only after the easter attacks that security forces descended upon qassam critique a muslim enclave on sri lanka's east coast with darren found the teacher.

we all thor's he's arrested 100 people affiliated with the group and seize weapons and other materials which they say indicate the n t j well organized and planning further attacks. because special forces of into this building because they suspect a member of the intake with building bombs here. some local muslim leaders say the raids a too little too light because they've been warning the author about zara since 26 days i mean you know that is top down preaching and propaganda and the company misleading you it's some of us we have believing he's going to and it didn't mean x. in music you know he's thought to do it in a speech. 2 days did you report him to the palais yes of course every.
