Trump calls Sri Lanka PM to express condolences over attacks

US President Donald Trump calls Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to express condolences over the killing of nearly 300 people in suicide bomb blasts at churches and hotels.

The attacks on Easter yesterday, which Sri Lankan authorities believe were carried out by a local Islamist group, were “one of the deadliest terrorist events since the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States,” White House spokesman Hogan Gidely says.
