Sri Lanka Sentences 15 Men to 220 Years Each for 2019 Easter Sunday Bombings

A Sri Lankan court has sentenced 15 men to life in prison for their involvement in the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings, which killed more than 260 people and wounded around 500 others. The coordinated attacks targeted three churches and three luxury hotels. The verdict comes after a nearly five-year trial, with authorities also holding a former intelligence chief who allegedly had prior knowledge of the plot.
