In Colombo, the capital, Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe visits one of the bombed churches, Sunday, April 21, after more than 200 people were killed and at least 450 others injured in bomb blasts at several churches and hotels across the country. The video shows damage at Kingsbury Hotel, one of the bombed hotels. Wickremesinghe said, "Orders have been given to find those responsible." He also called a national security council meeting at his home for later in the day. There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attacks in a country which was at war for decades with Tamil separatists until 2009, during which bomb blasts in the capital were common.
