‘The preliminary investigations have revealed that what happened in Sri Lanka was in retaliation for the attack against Muslims in Christchurch,’ state minister of defence Ruwan Wijewardene told Sri Lankan parliament.
The Sri Lankan Government has, however, been accused of using ‘Christchurch’ as an excuse for their failures to prevent the attack.
According to reports, the Sri Lankan Government was warned about the attack on April 4th.
World leaders and politicians have been slammed for failing to even mention ‘Christians’ in their messages of condolences.
