Sri Lanka concludes trial of 24 accused in 2019 Easter Sunday bombings

The trial of 24 men accused of plotting the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka is set to conclude, marking a legal milestone for the deadliest attack on civilians in the island's history. The attack killed 279 people, including 45 foreigners, and was blamed on a home-grown Islamist extremist group. The conclusion of the trial may bring closure but also raises questions about accountability and the handling of the case.
