Sri Lanka Suicide Bombers were Rich, Educated Kids

Officials in Sri Lanka now say most of the suicide bombers who killed over 359 people were rich kids from affluent families.

In his address Wednesday, Deputy Minister for Defense Ruwan Wijewardene, said one of the suicide bombers studied his bachelors in the UK, and did his Post-graduate studies in Australia.

“We believe one of the suicide bombers studied in the UK and then, later on, did his postgraduate in Australia, before coming back to settle in Sri Lanka,” said Ruwan Wijewardene.

He, however, did not mention the names of the terrorists.

Videos have emerged online showing how two terrorists with back-packs entered one of the prestigious hotels in Sri Lanka to carry out a bomb attack.

In the video, two men dressed casually are seen in the hotel elevator carrying heavy bags on their backs.
