From CNN:
10 civilians and 6 suspected terrorists killed in police raid in Sri Lanka
Ten civilians -- including six children -- are dead along with six suspected terrorists after a shootout between police and alleged militants late Friday in eastern Sri Lanka, authorities said.
At least two suspected terrorists are on the run following an explosion that witnesses told CNN turned a house in Sainthamaruthu "into fire."
And a bit more:
Earlier Friday, authorities had seized a large cache of explosives, 100,000 ball bearings and ISIS uniforms and flags from a garage a few miles from the shootout.
And how they were discovered:
According to Aliyar Mohamed, who lives opposite the alleged bomb-making garage, the building was rented to people from Kattankudy.
"The owners ... realized there was suspicious stuff going on here, then police came here. The place was rented out two to three weeks ago," he told CNN.
"They (the tenants) came here claiming to start a slipper factory, and the owners saw the materials but didn't understand what they were. But after the Colombo bombings, and with the people being from Kattankudy, they then reported them to police."
Good news - they want to martyr themselves and recieve the 72 white grapes (or raisins) of exceptional purity after death? Let us facilitate that meeting whenever and wherever possible.
