At least 89 suspects have been arrested over alleged links
to the Easter Sunday terror explosions which killed more than 250 people and
injured over 500 in Sri Lanka on April 21, the police on Tuesday said.
The suspects are currently under the custody of the Criminal
Investigations Department and the Terrorism Investigations Department.
Police Spokesperson, SP Ruwan Gunasekara, said that search
operations were ongoing across the country to hunt for more suspects, who would
be linked to the terror attacks but assured that most of those involved had now
been arrested.
Hundreds of Sri Lankans on Tuesday visited the grave sites
of the terror victims to pay tribute as the nation marked one month since the
suicide attacks which targeted three luxury hotels and three churches.
Sri Lanka’s Army Commander Mahesh Senanayake, in a special
statement on Sunday, urged people to return to normalcy and to send children
back to school, assuring that all precautionary security measures had been put
in place.
Senanayake said that search operations and investigations
were ongoing and those operations were “effectively advancing now with a marked
progress as at now.”
Sri Lanka continues to be under a state of emergency
following the April 21 explosions.
