This was the first Islamic suicide bombing in Sri\nLanka. Was it because Zaharan &amp; Co hated these churches &amp; hotels or\nwere the attacks part of a bigger plot involving a plethora of invisible\nothers?

The security lapses leading to Easter Sunday were many but the\nprimary reason behind this was placing unsuited incompetent officials to sit in\nchallenging roles probably with intent to make the security apparatus\nvulnerable to facilitate future plans.
