Authorities in Sri Lanka have announced that a very large bomb was found at the airport in Colombo, the nation's capital. Fortunately it was disarmed before it could be detonated. After the bombs earlier today that killed over 200 at churches and hotels, the discovery of another major bomb is more than disquieting.
About ten days ago, the head of the national police had warned of intelligence that Islamic terrorists were planning a major attack against the Christian community. Since the blasts, eight people have been arrested and reports say that they are all members of an Islamic terrorist group. Information is sketchy still, however, so we don't know for certain who did this and why.
Sri Lanka has about equal numbers of Muslims and Christians, with both groups having less than 10% of the population. It's hard to imagine that any group could be so misguided as to think that attacking innocent people sitting in church on Easter will advance their cause.
It's truly sad.

It appears that the Buddhist setup the Christians for the slaughter. Why ? Do they fear Christ more than the Muslims who have desecrated Buddha and would destroy them?
