Sri Lanka Imposes Nationwide Curfew As Riots Erupt Weeks After Bombings
3 districts were brought under a curfew earlier in the day in response to Christian-led mob attacks on several Muslim-owned businesses and mosques
Colombo: Sri Lanka on Monday announced a nationwide 6 hour night curfew after anti-Muslim riots spread to several districts just north of the capital Colombo, police said.
3 districts were brought under a curfew earlier in the day in response to Christian-led mob attacks on several Muslim-owned businesses and mosques, in the latest fallout from the Easter Sunday bombings blamed on local terrorists.
The curfew was later extended across the island, police said in a statement.
