Azzam Ameen, a BBC reporter in Colombo, said a government minister told him “they have no clue” who was behind the attacks and had no intelligence that such an attack was imminent.
Ameen said that at present the country’s intelligence agencies are just “guessing” that an international organisation or religious organisation could be behind it.
He said rumours have been circulating about the prospect of further attacks and thousands of police have been deployed onto the streets of the country to stand guard.
