Sri Lanka earns a no-confidence discount ugalani
Sri Lanka on April 25 revised down the official death toll by about 100 to 253 from suicide bomb attacks carried out on churches and hotels on Easter Sunday.
President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe denied seeing advance Indian intelligence warnings about the attack, Reuters reported, citing unnamed officials. The country’s national police chief refused to accept Sirisena's request to step down, two unnamed sources told Reuters on April 27.
The U.S. State Department said groups were continuing to plot attacks and cautioned its citizens against travelling to Sri Lanka. India and Britain have also warned their nationals to avoid travelling to Sri Lanka.
