The Sri Lankan government vehemently condemned the gruesome killing of twenty one Coptic Christian Egyptians by the terrorist group, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Libya last Sunday (15).

“The barbaric manner in which these killings were carried out has outraged the collective conscience of the world, and is a crime against humanity. Sri Lanka firmly believes that the international community should take concerted and decisive action to eradicate the growing menace of terrorism, which is a threat to human civilization, in all its forms and manifestations,” a statement issued by the foreign ministry said.

The Government and people of Sri Lanka convey their profound condolences to the Government and the people of Egypt, as well as to the bereaved families on this terrible national tragedy, it added.

    mack Friday, 20 February 2015 06:46 PM

    why should Middle eastern countries expect U.N or U.S army to fight ISISand then blame US for civilian casualties.all the middle eastern countries should unite and raise army to fight to finish ISIS. African countries should raise army to eliminate Boko haram. these people does not belongs to human race they are bunch of Murders and rapists using religion and God as excuse to kill innocent people. . via DM Android App

    u are right... but when truth is told some people get hurt... before condemning others they should correct themself.

    praba Saturday, 21 February 2015 06:58 AM

    J Palitha Friday, 20 February 2015 01:02 PM

    If we send him to ISIS he will ask bribe from them and get back to build some more Mansions in SriLanka.

    BuffaloaCitizen Friday, 20 February 2015 12:05 PM

    Lets practice what we preach. Only few years ago, we have been suspected of mass killing of our own minority citizens and the leader of such a dastardly crime still is popular amongst the population. We need to change.

    Bubble Banda Friday, 20 February 2015 12:13 PM

    It is very pathetic, ISIS seems to be the worst terrorist than LTTE.

    Desmond Jeromme Friday, 20 February 2015 12:14 PM

    if you send MR over there - he will wipe out ISIS.

    Horri Jimonis Friday, 20 February 2015 12:18 PM

    To see, MR is better than RW. Though he is a rogue, he is first for sending messages.

    ibadun Friday, 20 February 2015 12:18 PM

    these ISIS guys are not following Islamic Principle hence this is against to it and they are not Muslims

    Horri Jimonis Friday, 20 February 2015 12:20 PM

    Send MR

    Bubble Banda Friday, 20 February 2015 12:20 PM

    Kurundu Pol - Mangala is the right person to control ISIS. Ha...Ha....Ha....

    Vijith Pieterz Friday, 20 February 2015 12:23 PM

    Oh God, save the Christians all over the world from these nasty ISIS and destroy them completely.

    saman Friday, 20 February 2015 12:37 PM

    PeaceLover Friday, 20 February 2015 12:39 PM

    Religious Terrorism in action!!

    TJ Friday, 20 February 2015 11:59 AM

    Very late reaction from our side.

    Vijith Pieterz Friday, 20 February 2015 01:04 PM

    MR can tackle them - He will carry their children with running nose.

    Bubble Banda Friday, 20 February 2015 01:06 PM

    It is important to gather all the people from all religions including Muslims and have a Protest March soon against the ruthless ISIS.

    ANTON Friday, 20 February 2015 01:14 PM

    OUR POPE IS A VERY BRAVE, FEARLESS PERSON , HE CHALLENGED THESE NOTORIOUS ISIS BARBARIANS ON BEHALF OF CHRISTIANS.

    OMG Friday, 20 February 2015 01:47 PM

    You cannot eat messages. We elect presidents to uplift the living standards of all Sri Lankans.

    OMG Friday, 20 February 2015 01:53 PM

    Leader of ISIS Simon Elliot is a Mossad agent. Just Google it.

    Sri Wickrema Friday, 20 February 2015 02:03 PM

    What is the late? We were also accused of this type of killings some time back.

    BuffaloaCitizen Friday, 20 February 2015 02:20 PM
