PM warns of ‘more explosives’

- By MARGARET NEIGHBOUR

Sri Lanka’s prime minister warned there are more explosives and militants “out there” after the Easter suicide bombings.

Ranil Wickremesi­nghe made the comment at a news conference, and said some officials are likely to lose their jobs over intelligen­ce lapses surroundin­g the attack. Mr Wickremesi­nghe acknowledg­ed there was a prior warning, and said India’s embassy was eyed as a possible target.

It came as London police asked for for images taken during the terrorist attack in Sri Lanka to be shared. Counter-terrorism police want to look at any images and footage taken before, during or after the bombings.
