The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the Sri Lanka bombings that killed over 300 on Easter Sunday and injured over 500.
The powerful blasts -- six in quick succession on Easter morning and then two more hours later -- left the island nation grieving.
This was the worst violence to hit Sri Lanka since the civil war that ended a decade ago.
Dozens of other foreigners, including 8 Indians, are believed to be among those dead.
