Been a troubled country over the years. We were there in 97 when their world trade centre got bombed. Just after we got back their airport was attacked. In those instances it was internal with the Tamils.

Just got back from there a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful country and the people couldn't have been nicer. Awful news.

Reading some stuff about this carryon.
The Buddhists have been pestering followers of Islam in recent times and tensions have been rising . You can only poke a dog a few times until it bites you.

Surely they would have targeted temples if that was the case.

Sounds incredibly well coordinated. Islamic State?

My mate and his missus just got back from their honeymoon there about 3 or 4 days ago, bit of a near miss for them. Awful crack

The attacks seem to be targeted against Christians not Buddhists bud

Are you sure? It's usually the Buddhists who go around killing people on that troubled island.

In the eyes of the world’s media (inc BBC) Christians are dispensable.

What on earth does that mean?

Was only there last November. Thought it was a great country.

What a horrendous loss of life, it really sickens me when you see innocent people being targeted for no other reason apart from their religion.
