BBC World·LK·about 6 hours ago
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.
