Two Muslim brothers were Sri Lanka hotel suicide bombers: source
COLOMBO, April 23, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Two Muslim brothers played a key role
in the Easter Sunday Sri Lanka blasts that killed more than 320 people,
carrying out suicide attacks at different hotels, police sources told AFP
Tuesday.
The brothers, sons of a wealthy Colombo spice trader, blew themselves up as
guests queued for breakfast at the Shangri-La and Cinnamon Grand hotels in
the capital, the source said.
The sources also revealed that a fourth hotel was targeted in the string of
bombings, but the attack failed.
