The Muslim Council of Sri Lanka on Sunday strongly condemned the multiple bomb attacks in Sri Lanka that killed a total of 207 and wounded over 400 people.

Axar.az reports citing Anadolu Agency.

"The Muslim Council of Sri Lanka (MCSL) condemns the attacks on the places of worship of our Christian brothers and sisters on their holy day of Easter, as well as on the hotels in Colombo," the group said in a statement.

It described the attackers as "the extremist and violent elements who wish to create divides between religious and ethnic groups to realize their agenda”.

The attack was deliberate and aimed to create panic and disrupt civil life, the statement added.
