Sri Lanka Bombing-Gracie Zytynski

  This article written by Bryant Rousseau apart of the New York Times discusses a devastating event that took place in Sri Lanka. According to the article, the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks by the suicide bombers on Sunday. This bombing resulted in the death of 300 people and 500 wounded. Additionally, the victims came from at least eight countries, and included worshipers at the Easter Sunday services at the three targeted churches. The authorities claim that the event was carried out by National Thoweeth Jama'ath. This connects with the Birmingham Church bombing that occurred in 1963 at a Sunday morning service. Overall, both these events are very devastating and I hope they will find ways to prevent future events like this.
