Sri Lanka to resume public mass on Sunday: Cardinal
Sri Lanka Bomb Blast
Sri Lanka's Catholic Church said public mass will resume on Sunday, two weeks after Easter Sunday bombings killed 253 people at three churches and three luxury hotels.
"On the 5th of May we are going to begin Masses," Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith told AFP on Tuesday.
"But we will start with a smaller number of Masses and see if we can slowly increase it depending on how the situation develops," Rajith added.
The US government on Tuesday warned Sri Lanka and said that some of the Islamist militants involved in the Easter Sunday bombing were likely still at large and could be planning fresh attacks.
Sri Lankan security forces also said they were maintaining a high level of alert amid intelligence reports that the militants were likely to strike before the start of the holy Islamic month of Ramadan.
