Sri Lanka bombings: Nearly 300 dead; FBI aiding investigation - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Sri Lanka declared a state of emergency Monday and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is aiding in the investigation of the suicide bomb attacks that killed nearly 300 people and injured hundreds more. Several bombers carried out six coordinated attacks at churches and hotels Sunday, killing at least 290 people. [...] More than 1,000 worshipers were packed inside the St. Sebastian church when explosions went off Sunday during the Easter service. There were nine total bomb blasts, officials said. The Cinnamon Grand, the Shangri-La Hotel and the Kingsbury Hotel, all in Colombo, were attacked, along with St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo, St. Anthony's Shrine in Kochchikade and Zion Church in Batticaloa."

Comment: Please join me in praying for the church in Sri Lanka, that they will be guided by the Holy Spirit to persevere in faith with compassion and forgiveness.
