NYT article on ideological background and dangerous actions of Sri Lankan radical preacher-mastermind of recent Sri Lanka terror attacks

Sri Lankan Accused of Leading Attacks Preached Slaughter. Many Dismissed Him. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/world/asia/sri-lanka-attacks-mastermind.html, 25th April 2019

Very informative article from NYT about the ideological background as well as dangerous actions of the young Sri Lankan radical preacher and mastermind of recent Sri Lanka terror attacks, ***before*** these terror attacks. Apparently the police were given many warning signs in the past of this man's dangerous behaviour and dangerous incitement of his followers but there was no action.

Sufis (followers of a mystical form of Islam) and idolators (which would include Buddhists and Hindus) were a target of his fury.

I think such articles will help in attempts to prevent future such tragedies. I thank the New York Times and the authors for this very useful article.

About an earlier related Times of India article:

We have to know the reality and handle it. Ignoring the reality on the ground can have dangerous consequences. So I am sharing this very sad link.

My prayers for the victims and their families. My prayers for peace and harmony in Sri Lanka.
