Easter bombings cast shadow on postwar healing in Sri Lanka

It appeared that life in Sri Lanka was slowly returning to normal after the Easter bombings - until a curfew was imposed again earlier this week.

In retaliatory violence targeted at the country's Muslim community, mobs stoned or torched mosques, shops and houses. At least one death was reported.

The suicide attacks on churches and hotels on April 21, which killed more than 250 people, were carried out by a local group of Islamist extremists, police said.
