We call on all Sri Lankans to resist this destructive agenda of the attackers, and those who organised these attacks.</p> <p>Easter is a day that reminds us that love and goodness will have the final word, and the interruptions of terror and hate will not prevail.</p> <p>We extend our deepest sympathy to all those who have lost loved ones today and have suffered injuries. We identify with your morning and feel solidarity with your grief.</p> <p>M.A. Sumanthiran</p> <p>Spokesman, Tamil National Alliance. </p></blockquote> <p>Over 150 people are confirmed to have been killed in the explosions in Batticaloa and Colombo, with the death toll rising.</p> <p>British, American and Dutch and other foreign citizens are also among those that have so far been confirmed killed.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
