Advance warning of the Sri Lanka attacks came from an ISIS suspect arrested in India who named one of the bombers
Delhi passed on unusually specific intelligence in the weeks and days leading up to the attacks, Sri Lankan officials have said, and at least some of it was gleaned from material obtained during interrogations of an ISIS suspect arrested in India, an Indian official told CNN.The suspect gave investigators the name of a man he trained in Sri Lanka, who is associated with a local extremist group implicated in the bombings, the source said.
"Zahran is the mastermind of these attacks. He is the one," said Azath Salley, governor of Sri Lanka's Western Province."He is the guy who is giving them the ideology and when he talks to people they get convinced," Salley said in an interview with CNN.In a press conference earlier Tuesday, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe also identified Hashim as part of the plot."He is expected to be one of the suicide bombers," he said.
