Summary: Recently, there have been many attacks on churches in Sri Lanka. During Easter services, three occurred in the churches of Negombo, Batticaloa, Colombo's Kochchikade district. Multiple places in the capital were also threatened, so until further notice, a curfew was put into place, and all social media networks have been blocked. (temporarily). It is unsure of who the attacker is, but so far there are 13 possible suspects. Furthermore, later on Sunday, there was an explosive device found, but luckily it was detained, near Colombo's main airport.
Analysis: This article was written earlier this morning, on April 21, Sunday. It was last updated 6 hours ago, which means that the information that is presented is very current and up to date. This is kind of similar to the terrorist attacks the have started in the early 2000s- although not as severe- examples include 9/11, the Boston Marathon Bombing, and much more. This article was written to keep us aware of the recent attacks that have occurred in our world. Even though the majority of us in America are accepted for our religion/culture, not everyone in the world has the same privilege. Is is truly sad that these people are being attacked, especially in their area of worship, simply because of their religion.
