About two dozen bodies were laid to rest at a freshly cleared burial ground behind St. Sebastian’s church in Negombo, a majority Catholic town north of the capital, Colombo. More than 100 congregants were killed when a bomber blew himself up during Easter Mass. It was the deadliest of the six suicide bombings, which also targeted a Catholic church in Colombo, a Protestant church in the eastern city of Batticaloa, and three five-star hotels in central Colombo.
