The US, in a statement to commemorate last year’s April 21st attacks, reaffirmed its support to countering terrorism while respecting civil liberties.
“Just as the Government of Sri Lanka works to hold those involved to account, the United States will not rest in its pursuit of justice for those who commit such atrocities,” US State Secretary Mike Pompeo said in a statement.
Last year’s Easter Sunday attacks killed more than 250 including five US citizens and wounded more than 500, in a coordinated series of bombings targetting three churches and three hotels in Colombo
“We stand in solidarity with the survivors of this brutality, and pray for their healing,” Pompeo added.
