CNN：斯里兰卡“全新恐怖主义”爆炸遇难人数上升至290人



  
据CNN报道，该国住房和建设部长萨吉特•普利马达萨表示，袭击是一种“全新的恐怖主义”。

Sajith Premadasa, minister of housing construction, called Sunday's attacks a "brand-new type of terrorism."

CNN还报道，警方透露，在爆炸发生前，出现过一张情报单，提示有可能出现的袭击，并要求提升安保措施等。便笺日期为11日，签名为该国的警方人员。

Before the blasts on Sunday, a memo warned of a potential attack and requested heightened security, a police source tells CNN. The memo was dated April 11 and was signed by Sri Lanka's deputy inspector general of police.
 


然而，斯里兰卡总理拉尼尔•维克勒马辛哈却表示，他和该国其他部长并没有收到这样的情报。

The Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Ranil Wickremesinghe has said the intelligence was not shared with him and other ministers.

他还表示将调查为何政府未采取足够预防措施。

The prime minister said he was not kept informed about the information and that it is one of the issues that must be looked into.



目前，并无任何组织宣布对爆炸事件负责。

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
