The Chief of Police got security intelligence from an international security of another Nation may be (Mosad) 10 days before the attack and they did do anything about it. 10 days is enough to check mate these suicides bombers. It is now they are stepping up security. Medicine after death. May the souls of the dead rest in peace amen.

Sri Lanka is a sovereign nation. Has nothing to do with India. It is Sri Lanka that blocked the media.

The government has acknowledged that it had “prior information” of attacks on churches involving a little known local Islamist group but didn’t do enough about it.

Hiding 'true event' news is only building powder kegs. They think hiding the deaths of innocents is good, and we all should believe in a perfect world? Crazy, it won't end well.

My comments are not to be taken as trading advice, not a financial advisor
