Currently, in the "attack" section, there are inconsistencies for the exact timings of the detonations. In particular, in the table, Shangri-La's detonation is mentioned as 8:45am, but under "Hotels" it is listed as 8:57am. I did a quick Google search to find out whether the exact timings are listed anywhere but couldn't find anything. Would be good to have precise timings for all explosions from a reliable source. Maybe the government has published something? Surely, there must be good timestamps somewhere from seismograms or similar nearby the sites. Micronor (talk) 14:49, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one reacted, I adjusted the table to conform with the information given in the same section. Micronor (talk) 14:48, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources in Sri Lankan media claimed that state intelligence service received information from India and US on 4 April 2019, 48 hours, 24 hours and 10 minutes before the attacks. The US later denied providing any information (When questioned about what the sri lankan MP claimed about the US providing intelligence the spokesman stated that she cannot speak for others). Multiple media sources then claimed information came from India. When the State Minister of defence was questioned if India provided information relating to the attacks he stated "We maintain links with a number of foreign intelligence agencies including India, there has been a flow of information from multiple sources" when he was questioned directly whether India specifically provided any intelligence relating the attack he stated that "I cannot divulge that information". The intelligence briefing went out as a memorandum from the Inspector General of Police, states that he is relaying intelligence received from state intelligence service about possible attacks. It appears to me that claim that India provided intelligence has not been established by any official source, as this information is likely restricted. What's been reported by multiple media sources appears to be a bounce off each other, based on the initial erroneous source. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 21:33, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About 15 probably all Muslims related to the ISIS including 6 children were apparently killed in gun shootout between police and suspected gangs in Sainthamaruthu. I don't know how to add this information because there are so many headings and titles. Please somebody help.

Now I added it in the opening paragraph. Don't discriminate me because of my edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.134.67.95 (talk) 06:52, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The house which was raided in Ampara near Jummah mosque was a Tsunami foundation house built after 2004 and it is where the shooting took place yesterday at night. Here is the picture of the mosque targeted. Suicide bombers who planned to attack were also killed by the dedicated armed forces and police.

Can we also add the fact that each and every houses are raided throughout the country according to the latest point by President.

Every house in the country was raided? I think not. WWGB (talk) 07:24, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Lankan Muslim politicians are suspected to be behind this attack. Sri Lankan minister Rishad Bathiudeen's brother was arrested in connection with the bombings and the minister denies the links and connections. Even Mujibur Rahman is also questioned regarding his alleged participation.

I was highly tempted to remove this as a WP:BLP vio and have no prejudice to someone doing so. Sputnik News is barely a reliable source for anything per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, and especially not for BLP related matters. I have no idea about Colombo Page but your statement is nonsense anyway. The possible involvement of someone's brother in no way provides evidence for the involvement of the person themselves. I have no idea who the second person is since they don't seem to be mentioned in either of your sources and your link goes to an article on a Bangladeshi politician who died in 1975.

User:Steven (Editor) That was a good pick up on a remote rural town, I checked to google and it does indeed seem to show them as two different towns, Sammanthurai being located West of Sainthamaruthu. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 18:43, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Eng.M.Bandara and yeah both of these places have articles on here too. The confusion definitely lies in the reporting. For example, this Independent one reports about the shootout and explosion happening in Sammanthurai as well as mentioning the stock being found here too. I was trying to sort this text out last night, but ended up getting a headache haha, managed to do it today - further reporting also helped. Steven (Editor) (talk) 20:08, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has made a separate article on the shoot out April_2019_Kalmunai_shootout. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 21:16, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Surely we don't need a separate article for this or do we? The aftermath on this article is slightly incorrect as it doesn't mention about it being another search operation in Sammanthurai. Plus this entire article is covered in one small paragraph in this article and the search operations being carried out are part of the Easter bombings. I think this article needs to be deleted Steven (Editor) (talk) 21:43, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I did notice that too, the explosives and other articles were recovered in a separate raid conducted based on a intelligence briefing. I am on the sidelines whether the article should be kept, in the absence of the Easter Sunday bombings, this would have been a major incident. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 21:49, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yep and you're right, this would have been a major incident. I think it's covered well in this article, it's mentioned in the intro and in the aftermath section. I've PRODed the article for now Steven (Editor) (talk) 22:06, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is it appropriate to consider Dematagoda explosion as part of the main attack, when it was a result of police breaching and entering into a suspect premise? The only way I see it could be included as part of the main attack is if the perpetrator was anticipating police arrival at that particular property and set up and ambush. In this event Police Officers also be added as a target. This seems ever more likely as recent raids on 27 April conducted in Kalmunai, following the shoot out there, had recovered evidence possibly linking the group to the murder of two police officers in November 2018, and the attempted murder of another person in March 2019, making it earliest events associated to the group. --Eng.
