COLOMBO, Sri Lanka—Sri Lankan authorities took 24 people into custody in connection with a series of Easter morning suicide bombing attacks on tourist hotels and churches that killed almost 300 people and injured hundreds of others.
Arrests were made in several locations in and near the capital, where the bombings were focused. There were at least eight explosions on Sunday, most blamed on suicide bombers.Authorities on Monday lifted a curfew on the country, but continued to block social-media services such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Snapchat. Government officials have argued that social media encourages the spread of misinformation.
