US Vice Pres. Mike Pence sa Sri Lankan bombing: ‘Attack on Christianity’

Inamin ni Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe na hindi nakarating sa kanya ang lumabas na memo kung saan nagbigay babala sa posibleng pag-atake sa Sri Lanka at pinaalalahanan ang lahat na maghigpit ng seguridad.

Ito ay kaugnay ng naganap na pagsabog sa ilang simbahan at hotel sa Sri Lanka na ikinasawi ng halos 207 katao at 400 katao naman ang sugatan.

Ang nasabing memo ay inilabas umano noong April 14 at pinirmahan ng deputy inspector general of police ng Sri Lanka.

Sa ibinahagi namang pahayag ni Sri Lankan Minister of Telecommunication Harin Fernando, inamin nito na hindi kaagad nabigyan ng agarang pansin ang nasabing memo kung saan maaari raw sanang maiwasan ang trahedya.

Some intelligence officers were aware of this incidence. Therefore there was a delay in action. What my father heard was also from an intelligence officer. Serious action need to be taken as to why this warning was ignored. I was in Badulla last night pic.twitter.com/ssJyItJF1x

Tinawag naman ni US Vice President Mike Pence na isang ‘attack on Christianity & religious freedom’ ang nangyaring pagsabog na ito at sinabing naka-monitor sila ni US President Donald Trump sa sitwasyon.

.@POTUS and I are monitoring the horrific attacks on those celebrating Easter in Sri Lanka. Our hearts & prayers are with the victims & their families. This atrocity is an attack on Christianity & religious freedom everywhere. No one should ever be in fear in a house of worship.
