Local group behind the attack
the Police in Sri Lanka have arrested 24 persons in connection with the explosions on Sunday and Monday. Sri Lankan health minister, Rajitha Senaratne, said Monday that it is a local group of islamist militants by the name of National Thowfeek Jamaath, who is behind the attacks.
