Important lessons to be learned from Sri Lanka blasts

THE DEATH TOLL IN THE EIGHT blasts that hit Sri Lanka on Sunday continued rising on Monday. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

The eight blasts on Sunday cast the shadow of terror over the whole of Sri Lanka. At least one Chinese citizen is confirmed dead in the blasts. And the Chinese people share the feelings of Sri Lankan people and their condemnation of terrorism.

The question now is what to learn from the eight blasts that Sri Lanka suffered so as to prevent them from happening again in any corner of the world. So far no organization has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Ruwan Wijewardene, minister of defense of Sri Lanka, has already confirmed one of the suspects was a religious fundamentalist.
