A series of eight bomb blasts tore thru high end hotels and churches holding Easter services on Sunday. At least 207 people are known dead, including several dozen foreigners.
The bombings are said to be the worst since the more-or-less end of the civil war there ten years ago. Two of the bombings were carried out by suicide bombers. Six happened more or less simultaneously, the other two several hours later.
At least 450 people were injured. Seven people are under arrest.
The police there put out a security alert ten days ago warning of possible bombings of prominent churches on Easter. I guess they were right. A radical Muslim group, NTJ, is believed to be behind the blasts.
