The warning in the April 11 letter was plain: A local group was planning a suicide terror attack against churches in Sri Lanka. Priyalal Disanayaka, the deputy inspector general of police, signed the letter addressed to the directors of four Sri Lankan security agencies. Sri Lankan authorities also Tuesday planned to brief foreign diplomats and receive assistance from the FBI and other foreign intelligence-gathering agencies. The three hotels and one of the churches, St. Anthony's Shrine, are frequented by foreigners. A woman is helped after she collapsed as silence is observed as a tribute to victims of the attacks in Sri Lanka on Tuesday.
