Sri Lankan authorities said that Islamic terrorists carried out the Easter Sunday bombings that left nearly 300 dead and another 500 wounded.

Health minister Rajitha Senaratne said Monday that a preliminary examination pointed to National Thowheed Jamath, a local offshoot of ISIS, as being responsible for the attacks on churches and hotels. He said that although all the bombers were Sri Lankan, an international network was behind the atrocities.
