Colombo. Para muchos ciudadanos de Sri Lanka, los atentados del Domingo de Pascua despertaron el terrible recuerdo de la violencia del período oscuro de la guerra civil, que llegó a su fin hace diez años.

“Ahora tenemos miedo de tocar las bolsas de basura de plástico negro. La serie de explosiones de ayer (domingo) nos trajo a la memoria la época en la que teníamos miedo de tomar autobuses o trenes debido a los paquetes bomba”, declaró Malathi Wickrama, una barrendera municipal de la capital, Colombo.
