Reuters: Sri Lanka's bomb carnage casts pall over tourism revival
COLOMBO (Reuters) - With its capital under curfew following devastating Easter Sunday bomb attacks on churches and upmarket hotels, Sri Lanka is filled with fear, horror and grief and tourists who have been flocking to the Indian Ocean island could cancel in droves.
A tweet posted on the travel booking website First Choice captured the trepidation among holidaymakers, while some airlines and travel agents said they would waive cancellation charges for people scheduled to travel imminently.
“What are you doing about the holidays you have booked to that country?” tourist Judith Ann Clayton asked on the social media site.
“Clearly it is unsafe for anyone to go there.”
Others set to travel said they would not to be cowed into cancelling.

If ever.
Too bad because Sri Lanka is really beautiful.
Well, that's the terrorists goal
they
1) Want to destabilize the gov by shocking the people and cutting of the income they get from tourism
2) once poverty befalls Sri Lanka, there will be a lot of young guys, without hope, without job, they will then go after with their sick "religion"
It's their 101 playbook. Make a region starve, and then pick up youngsters as cheap fighters
This game of marbles is for the whole world. It has been a Muslim goal since the mid 1990s. Al Qaeda decarled war in the mid-1990s.
... my guitar gently weeping
... Dems were asleeping
Fun fact: We had 2 embassies blown up in 1998. Dems were sleeping.
Al Qaeda had wanted to blow up 5 at the same time.
Anyone want to make a bet, if the dims still would have slept?
Now the dims are all woke. They are susper-wokey! They can say Islamophobia quicker than anyone.
Before that Al Qaeda wanted to blow up 11 airliners at once in 1995. My main man, Bill Clinton, was sleeping. We got lucky. Poor maintenance practices gave the plot away not good intel. Bill didn't protect us. He was wiping out Branch Davidians with tanks and looking for hired help to shag.
Koresh was a bad guy. It would have been easy to arrest him away from the compund, but Clinton admin wanted the frontpages. They got it ... and a lot of innocent people dead, too.
Point is Bill was too busy to proect us from Al Qaeda.
Holy week is not over, yet. More Christians will be murdered over the next 7 days and more Dims will take the opportunity to warn of Islamophobia, while wringing their hands and worrying aboput a backlash.
The woke amongst us will point out that surely the Chrisitans in Sri Lanka, who are 8% of the populaiton were oppressing the Muslim 9% of the population. It is a given.
The bombers were all known wolves. The police knew, who they were. The police in Germany, France, Belgium and The Netherlands know who the wolves are there. They monitor the jihadis. They do not have enough police to go around. So it will happen again. Meanwhile brain dead donors to the SPLC will worry about Jerry Falwell.
dumb...stop living in the past and notice who runs the show in your nation now...he done nada...you like little boy say mommy not my fault but that other person from back there everything he did but yell at him not me
"...he has done nada...you are like little boy "
etc, etc, etc.
"dumb...stop living in the past..."
1) There was a news report that Obma and Hillary commented on the Sri Lanka bombing. they did not say christan nor the word terrorist. they ciould not bring themselves to say it. It is against their berleif system to tell the truth.
These execrable ex-polticians (kind of like saying ex-Marine, does a politician every stop being politician?) will endorse the Democrat primary winner. So they are still relevant. They are still opinion leaders for TWD. Their opinion (like an elbow) influences and gives the greenlight to the Marching M____s to vote Democrat.
So talking about them is not living in the past. They are still alive and kicking, if you had not noticed.
We could have your smartphone set up to receive "Earth to Anon 7:43" podcasts, so that you are at least 1/2-way grounded in reality.
