207 killed in Sri Lanka, today, April 21, 2019

Post by Maria »

Today is Western Easter and as expected, there was a massacre of Christians in Sri Lanka.

According to other news, Sri Lanka has now imposed a curfew and has blocked social media and messaging to curtail any rumors.

That this is a coordinated conspiracy to kill Christians is most likely considered "misinformation" by the government.

If you visit the Daily Caller and view the first picture at that site, you will notice that the church has been either sprayed with bullets or fragmentation from the bombs. How can this not be a conspiracy? Furthermore, notice that some of the police have smiles on their faces. That picture shows a dead person who has fallen over a bench. How could they joke and smile? Could the police also be involved in this massacre?

Terrorists killed more than 200 Catholic worshipers and tourists on Easter Sunday morning in Sri Lanka with coordinated bombing attacks on churches and hotels.

The first explosion ripped through St. Sebastian’s Church in the city of Negombo at 8:45 a.m. local time during an Easter service, with deadly blasts following in St. Anthony’s Shrine in the city of Colombo and Zion Church in Batticaloa, The New York Times reported. Members of St. Sebastian posted photos of the aftermath on Facebook, showing a sanctuary strewn with rubble, blood and the wounded.

Bombs also detonated in the hotels Shangri-La, the Kingsbury and the Cinnamon Grand.
