Sri Lanka convicts 15 over 2019 Easter bombings that killed 279

A Sri Lankan court convicted 15 individuals for their roles in the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings, a series of coordinated attacks on churches and hotels that killed 279 people. The convictions mark a significant legal milestone in a case that has faced years of delays and criticism over intelligence failures. The sentencing phase is pending, and the extent of any accountability for security lapses remains unclear.
