Three Indians were among 207 people confirmed killed as eight bomb blasts rocked churches and luxury hotels in or near Sri Lanka's capital on Easter -- the deadliest violence the country has seen since a bloody civil war ended a decade ago. At least 450 more were wounded.
Six nearly simultaneous blasts took place in the morning in Colombo at St Anthony's Shrine -- a Catholic church --and the Cinnamon Grand, Shangri-La and Kingsbury hotels. After a lull of a few hours, two more explosions occurred at St Sebastian Catholic church in Negombo, a mostly Catholic town north of Colombo, and at the Protestant Zion church in the eastern town of Batticaloa.
