Sri Lanka terrorism attacks retaliation for New Zealand mosque shootings.

The Epoch Times: Sri Lanka Attacks Were ‘Retaliation’ for New Zealand Mosque Shootings, Government Says.
The Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka were an act of revenge for a recent attack on mosques in New Zealand, according to the country’s state minister of defense.

“The preliminary investigations have revealed that what happened in Sri Lanka (on Sunday) was in retaliation for the attack against Muslims in Christchurch,” Ruwan Wijewardene told Parliament on April 23, according to Reuters.

It is unclear whether the Sri Lankan groups received assistance from international terrorist organizations and, if so, what was the nature of their involvement.

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told Parliament investigators were looking into foreign links.
