On Easter Sunday, bomb attacks at Sri Lanka churches and luxury hotels killed at least 297 people and injured more. Here's how world leaders reacted.
Pope Francis condemned the attacks during his Easter Sunday speech in Rome, Italy. He offered “heartfelt closeness to the Christian community, attacked while gathered in prayer, and to all the victims of such a cruel act of violence.
"Now is instead the time for a renewed commitment for a political solution able to respond to people's legitimate hopes for freedom, peace and justice, confront the humanitarian crisis and favor the secure reentry of the homeless, along with all those who have taken refuge in neighboring countries, especially Lebanon and Jordan," he said.New York Governor Andrew Cuomo also offered his condolences and called for state police to increase security measures at places of worship.
"During these troubling times, we will not be intimidated by cowardly acts of violence and will continue to do everything in our power to ensure the safety of all New Yorkers," Cuomo
