Sri Lanka Army's chief has said that some of the suicide bombers who carried out the country's worst terror attack on Easter Sunday visited Kashmir and Kerala for "some sorts of training" or to "make some more links" with other foreign outfits. Asked what activities they were doing in Kashmir and Kerala, the Army chief said: "Not exactly, but definitely in some sorts of training or to make some more links towards the other organisations outside the country". Sri Lanka banned the NTJ and arrested over 100 people in connection with the blasts. Asked why Sri Lanka was targeted, the Commander said: "Too much of freedom, too much of peace for the last 10 years. Have trust on the armed forces and the Police of this country who will bring normalcy as soon as possible," the Army chief added.
