Christian and Muslim leaders appeal for calm in Negombo

(6 May 2019) Two people have been arrested and an overnight curfew lifted on Monday after mobs attacked Muslim-owned shops and some vehicles in a Sri Lankan town where a suicide bombing targeted a Catholic church last month. Residents in the seaside town of Negombo say the mostly-Catholic attackers stoned and vandalised shops. It is unclear how the dispute began, but most residents say a private dispute took a religious turn. Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith along with Muslim clerics visited the area on Monday to appeal for peace. The clash was the first reported since the Easter bombings by Islamic extremists two weeks ago that killed more than 250 people.
