A string of blasts targeting hotels and churches in Sri Lanka earlier today which claimed at least 160 lives — including 35 foreigners — a police official told AFP.
British, Dutch, American and Japanese citizens are believed to be among them.
A police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said at least 45 people had been killed in Colombo, where three hotels and a church were hit.
Another 67 were killed in an attack on a church in Negombo north of the capital, with another 25 dead at a church in the town of Batticaloa, in the east of the country.
