"Sri Lanka's minority Christian community appeared to be the main target of Sunday's attack. Christianity is a minority religion in Sri Lanka, accounting for less than 10% of the total population of 21.4 million."

Reminds me of that line from "The Rock." Even now, 23 years, I still agree.
"I tell you, honey, the world is being FedExed to hell on a handcart. I seriously think that anyone's considering bringing a child into this world is coldly considering an act of cruelty."
Best Bay movie ever.

"Fatima Ibrahim, wife of Sri Lankan suicide bomber, blows herself up with unborn child"

Reuters
Reuters wrote:When police went later that day to raid the family home, his younger brother Ilham Ibrahim detonated a bomb that killed him, his wife and the couple’s three children, the source told Reuters, requesting anonymity for fear of reprisals.
