when i think of it. tosh earlier 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 i didn't seize 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 that they feel. that we can't do anything to them and saying god has to do that. the in late 28 days the sri lankan prisoner at 5 the prime minister claiming he was doing listen 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.
