A New Round of Terror Attacks

Post Reply New Topic

There's always more to it...one of the suicide bombers was actually filmed patting a small child on the head with great affection before walking into the church and blowing himself up and 100 other people. he had studied Aerospace engineering in University College London before doing postgraduate studies in Australia. His parents were wealthy merchants. He looked like somebody who took great care of his appearance and health.

His conduct shows a complete acceptance of his fate and even a sense of compassion for the child despite knowing he was likely to kill children just like the one he was patting. That's a high level of brainwashing/programming that his sense of duty completely overwhelmed his sense of human morality.

The following summarizes the latest on the Sri Lankan terror attack:

As Sri Lankan security forces raided an ISIS safe house late Friday into Saturday morning, militants open fired and detonated at least three suicide bombs, killing 15 people, including six children. The dead were found charred, others had their clothes burned off of their bodies.

During the sweeping raids, military officials said security forces discovered explosives, detonators, "suicide kits," military uniforms and Islamic State group flags.

Gunasekara said officers acting on information from intelligence officials also found 150 sticks of blasting gelatin and 100,000 small metal balls, as well as a van and clothing suspected of being used by those involved in the Easter attacks. Suicide bomb vests often are packed with such balls to increase the shrapnel in the explosion, making them even deadlier.

On Friday, police confirmed the militant group's leader, Mohamed Zahran, died in the suicide bombing at the Shangri-La Hotel, one of six hotels and churches attacked. Zahran appeared in an Islamic State video claiming responsibility for the coordinated assault, and authorities in both Sri Lanka and Australia confirmed links between IS and the attack.

On Thursday night, Sri Lanka's Health Ministry drastically reduced its estimated death toll from the bombings. A statement said "approximately" 253 people had been killed, nearly one-third lower than an earlier police estimate of 359 dead.
