More than 290 people, including several Americans, were killed,
and at least 500 injured when bombs ripped apart several churches
during Easter Sunday services on the island nation of Sri Lanka yesterday.
Explosions also rocked the Shangri-La, Kingsbury, and Cinnamon
Grand Hotels in the country's capital city of Colombo.
Suicide bombers from the National Throwheeth Jama'ath,
a little known Islamic jihadist group in Sri Lanka, have since
claimed responsibility for these devastating attacks.

To those from Sri Lanka who have been kind enough to read my blog,
my heart and prayers are with you and your fellow citizens this morning,
and with the American families who have lost loved ones in this
appallingly cruel and senseless tragedy.
