A view of St. Sebastian's Church damaged in blast in Negombo, north of Colombo, Sri Lanka on Sunday, April 21, 2019. Sri Lanka, situated off the southern tip of India, is about 70 percent Buddhist, with the rest of the population Muslim, Hindu or Christian. There is also no history of violent Muslim militants in Sri Lanka. Two Muslim groups in Sri Lanka condemned the church attacks, as did countries around the world, and Pope Francis expressed condolences at the end of his traditional Easter Sunday blessing in Rome.
