Sri Lanka bombings ringleader died in hotel attack, president says

The alleged ringleader behind Sri Lanka’s Easter Sunday bombings was killed in the attacks, President Maithripala Sirisena said. Mr Sirisena said Zahran Hashim, a radical preacher, died at the Shangri-La hotel in the capital, Colombo. He said Hashim led the attack on the popular tourist hotel, accompanied by a second bomber identified as “Ilham”. At least 250 people died in the wave of bombings on Sunday, which targeted churches and hotels in Colombo. Mr Sirisena also said that Sri Lankan intelligence services believed around 130 suspects linked to Islamic State (IS) group were in the country and that police were hunting 70 who were still at large.

Fortunately, we remain uninjured as a tea break is called and we sit down to talk about Fighter with its writer and star, Libby Liburd. The rehearsals might be taking place in Oval, but the play actually opens in Stratford – a fitting location given that’s where the Olympics were held in 2012, the first year the tournament recognised female boxing.
