Jehovah Witnesses ‘Special Talk’ attendants narrowly escape Sri Lanka explosions

The Pickerings Road Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Colombo, has narrowly escaped the explosions that rocked Sri Lanka on Easter...

At least 137 people have been killed and hundreds more injured in explosions at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka, police and hospital sources say.
At least six explosions were reported. Three churches in Negombo, Batticaloa and Colombo’s Kochchikade district were targeted during Easter services.

The Shangri-La, Cinnamon Grand and Kingsbury hotels, all in Colombo, were also hit.
Easter Sunday is one of the major feasts in the Christian calendar.
No group has yet said it was responsible
Hospital sources in Batticaloa said at least 27 people had died there.
A hotel official at the Cinnamon Grand, near the prime minister’s official residence, told AFP the explosion there had ripped through a restaurant, killing at least one person.
Colombo resident Usman Ali told the BBC there were massive queues as he joined people trying to donate blood.
He said: “Everyone had just one intention and that was to help the victims of the blast, no matter what religion or race they may be. Each person was helping another out in filling forms.”

No-one was expecting this

Rumours have been reported of more attacks and police have told people to stay inside their houses and remain calm. But there is some element of panic.
There is a heavy military presence in front of all major state buildings. No-one was expecting this, it was a peaceful Sunday morning – everyone was going to Easter prayers.

What’s the latest from the scene?
St Sebastian’s church in Negombo was severely damaged. Images on social media showed its inside, with a shattered ceiling and blood on the pews. At least 67 people are reported to have died there.
There were heavy casualties too at St Anthony’s Shrine in Kochchikade, a district of Colombo.
Among those killed in Colombo were at least nine foreign nationals, hospital sources told the BBC.

I’ve spoken to several priests who were in the church and they were really shocked, as were the police officers.
It was a well-planned, co-ordinated attack but I spoke to the security chief who was there and officials believe it’s too early to say who is behind the attacks.
After the Tamil Tigers were defeated in 2009, Sri Lanka hasn’t really seen this kind of incident.

What have officials said?
President Maithripala Sirisena has issued a statement calling for people to remain calm and support the authorities in their investigations.
PM Ranil Wickremesinghe is chairing an emergency meeting. He said: “I strongly condemn the cowardly attacks on our people today. I call upon all Sri Lankans during this tragic time to remain united and strong.”
On Twitter, Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera said the attacks appeared to be a “well-co-ordinated attempt to create murder, mayhem and anarchy” and had killed “many innocent people”.
Another minister, Harsha de Silva, described “horrible scenes” at St Anthony’s Shrine in Kochchikade, saying he had seen “many body parts strewn all over”.
Cardinal Archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Ranjith, told the BBC: “It’s a very difficult and a very sad situation for all of us because we never expected such a thing to happen and especially on Easter Sunday.”

The Reds' manager was thrilled with the Egypt international's goal against the Blues and insists his team are fully focused on winning the title

Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on Mohamed Salah and said the Egypt international's goal against Chelsea was simply "brilliant". Sadio Mane opened the scoring for the hosts against the Blues, but it was Salah's solo effort which found the top left corner which stole the headlines.

Cutting inside on the right flank, the 26-year-old unleashed a superb effort which nestled beyond Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the 53rd minute.

The Reds went on to win the game 2-0 thanks to the goals from their front two, ensuring they remain two points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
When quizzed for his opinion on Salah's goal, Klopp told the BBC after the match: "I had the best view. I saw earlier than most people that it would go in. What a finish, what a shot. But the whole move around it. Wow, brilliant!

"In the first half we played against the wind, in the second half we had the wind at our backs. So we used that obviously.
"Then at 2-0 up, there was a little system change from the opponent, with Hazard moving to the left and [Gonzalo] Higuain upfront.
"But then we are completely on our bikes from 70 minutes, defending, tackling, counter-attacking. Then they had three moments but Alisson was there. He saved our life in those moments."

Liverpool's next fixture is against Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday, before another league fixture against Cardiff City on April 21.
Klopp is hoping the victory over Maurizio Sarri's side will help the Anfield club build some momentum as they look to keep the pressure on Manchester City.
"I’m so proud of the team, it was a fantastic performance," Klopp added. "What a team, what a stadium, what an atmosphere. I’m so thankful I can be a part of this, it’s great. It’s just outstanding, very overwhelming at times.

"Well done, really well done, now let’s prepare for Porto, Cardiff and whatever comes.
"The first question in the meeting today was 'What is the City score?'. You cannot avoid knowing about it. But it isn’t interesting to us.

"We expect them to win all their games so we just need to get as many points as possible and if we’re champions then great but if not it is still a really good football team."
