Father of 11-year-old American boy killed in Sri Lanka attack: 'The terrorists didn’t know who they were killing.'
An 11-year-old Washington, D.C., boy was among at least four American citizens who were killed in a series of terrorist attacks at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.
"The terrorists didn’t know who they were killing. But we should know what the world lost, what they took from the world," the young boy's father, Alex Arrow, said in an interview on Monday."A brilliant mind who - who was going to be a neuroscientist and - he won’t make it to his 12th birthday." "He was learning Chinese and Sinhalese and Mandarin," his father said."He was into karate, which he took to. He wasn’t much for soccer or softball, but he loved karate. He played the trumpet and all the games."
He and Kieran went kayaking together in the U.S. last week before the child and his mom left for Sri Lanka. He was slated to return to the U.S. in July, Arrow said.
