Sri Lanka has identified two suspected terrorists behind the streak of bombings in the country’s capital of Colombo.
The terror attacks that dominated the capital shortly after they began at 8:45 local time, came in fast as hotels became casualties.
Three hotels were bombed, and at least 35 foreigners were killed in the attacks.
Over 180 more people are believed to have died during the terror attack which targeted churches that hold their Easter Celebrations Sunday.
In Sri Lanka’s population of about 22 Million, only 7 per cent are Christians.
In the attacks, the churches which are mostly crowded on Sundays bore the brunt of the attacks, with scores getting killed and hundreds more battling for their lives in city hospitals.
The government has ordered a curfew even as more police have been recalled from leave to contain the situation.

The terrorists behind the atrocious string of bombings have been identified as Zahran Hashim and Abu Mohammed.
Though no terror group has officially claimed responsibility for the massacre, the two are believed to have masterminded the attacks.
