One of the suicide bombers in Sri Lanka’s Easter Sunday attacks studied in the UK.
The country’s Deputy Defense Minister Ruwan Wijewardene also told a press conference that an explosion in Colombo earlier was a controlled blast on a motorbike near the Savoy hotel.
At the conference the minister revealed that there were nine suicide bombers, and eight have been identified.
60 people have been arrested and 32 of those are still in custody – all of which are Sri Lankan.
He added that the suspects had two safe-houses which made it easy to plan the attacks.
It comes as the number of confirmed dead in the attacks has risen to 359.
