Fresh fears in Sri Lanka

A SRI LANKAN Cabinet minister says he and seven others have received intelligence that the group behind the Easter Sunday bombings could strike the island nation again.

Minister of Health Rajitha Senarathna said the government ministers have been warned that they have been identified as targets of possible additional suicide attacks.

He said intelligence officials specifically told him to stay at home on Sunday and Monday because of the threat of an attack from the Islamic Statelinked Muslim extremist group.
