JUST IN: Death toll rises to 359 in Sri Lanka bombings, authorities say.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a wave of coordinated bombings at churches and high-end hotels across Sri Lanka.
"All that we knew earlier is that there were foreign links and that this could not have been done just locally," Wickremesinghe said."There has been training done and a coordination which we [have] not seen earlier." Explosions erupted at three churches holding Easter services in Colombo, Batticaloa and Negombo. Blasts also tore through three luxury hotels in Colombo that are popular among Western tourists, according to Sri Lankan police.
United States Secretary of State Pompeo said the U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka is working to provide assistance to American citizens affected by the attacks, including their families.
