While this certainly may be the modus operandi for IS in the middle east I am not sure this happened in Sri Lanka.

Following the attacks the Sri Lankan government put a social media and ban on journalists so troops could go door to door searching for suspects. Reports suggest that the military simply carried out extra-judicial executions of entire families of the terrorists and then repackaged the story as "they opened fire on us"

The main help pretty much always comes from the US and its allies.

This is another one of those fringe news sites that tends to make up its own "facts".
