(AP)The US ambassador to Sri Lanka said on Tuesday that some of the militants behind Easter Sunday bombings that killed more than 250 people were likely still at large and could be planning more attacks. Sri Lankan security forces also said they were maintaining a high level of alert amid intelligence reports that the militants were likely to strike before the start of Ramazan, which is supposed to begin next Monday. Scores of suspected militants have been arrested in the multi-ethnic island nation since April 21 suicide bomb attacks on hotels and churches. The FBI is assisting Sri Lankan authorities in the investigations but Teplitz declined to give more details.
