a disaster that could have been avoided it. reports suggest intelligence services may have been tipped off about the possibility of attacks yet failed to act. the prime minister himself raised this question while also vowing to prevent further violence while this goes on we must also looking at the quick because we're not. in this respect but first and foremost we had to ensure that bury them does not leave its aid in sri lanka. the first test for security forces is to try to piece together who's responsible for the atrocity and for the terrible loss of so many lives. or for the very latest now let's cross over to jamila dean in colombo she's the editor of news in general it's really like officials have

held a press briefing on the attacks. they were building more details about the suspects arrested or who they believe was behind the attacks. if there's just a very soft light it was through down cause health minister that there are significant iraqi journalists that a local group and the national crowd here. are right because what same group has been behind us it is attacks and. he's on some wants us to think so much when people people have been arrested and all of them with names belonging to defra because all the nice ition so the hunt is on for more suspects about the organization has to be named. intelligence officials apparently received warnings about these attacks ahead of time but we're hearing that these warnings were not passed on to those who could have intervened including the prime minister what more can you tell us about those warnings. yes i'm a security. in the beginning i'll tell you. intelligence agencies and big receive

information off i see both terrorist attacks. but this information as you correctly said was not cost on time you trying to become a single on you have that happen if this is. so the prime minister has said that he's going to come back investigations esteban's when truong why was there a miscommunication and why wasn't the cabinet informed that there was a test on the contrary so investigations into this are going to be conducted the president however a.z.'s to make a statement on this education. authorities have imposed a fresh curfew for tonight in sri lanka's top of all colombo are police bracing for possible further attacks. yes so the custody is going to come into effect from eight o'clock tonight and it's going to stay in case of four o'clock tomorrow morning and just now we have received comes from information that
