wikipedia:

Both LTTE and the government resumed fighting in 2006, and the government officially backed out of the ceasefire in 2008.[120] In 2009, under the Presidency of Mahinda Rajapaksa, the Sri Lanka Armed Forces defeated the LTTE and re-established control of the entire country by the Sri Lankan Government.[142] Overall, between 60,000 and 100,000 people were killed during the 26 years of conflict.[143][144]

Forty thousand Tamil civilians may have been killed in the final phases of the Sri Lankan civil war

-------------------------

Sri Lanka "somewhat asian" but LTTE is IPKF is India: is Bhudist - Hindu India Budhist.

roughtly %9 of Sri lanka is "asian per say" (but this was B.C. so what mix of asian or india or who is not known), but %4 is from India

the "muslim section of sri lanka" was 'expelled' during the early 2000's

HOWEVER: nothing says (that i know of yet) that muslims did "tourist area Church bombing"

Likely the current government is "king of the hill" - meaning the civil war "ended" a decade ago. king of the hill country aka facism aka the strong rule and take take take until they are again attacked

(the attack could be by anyone in the government - arabian muslims likely were not the Source of the attack)



"As of 2010, 8.9% of the population lives below the poverty line." (this is likely wishful statistics, because the civil war was ongoing in 2009)

Several reports suggest the current government has improved conditions for the poor and that population has gained quickly there (no claims standard of living for the non-government workers is any good).

(in sri lanka if you are not politically connected: you are born in debt and stay there, the government hands crumbs to you if they want you alive. like parts of america in democrat areas!)

the attack could be by anyone in (any of the) governments or nations involved

arabian muslims likely were not the Source of the attack), although there are a significant number of muslims (since the 1500's?), on the island - they are not necessarily "part of isis" in arabia (i would bet that's illegal in sri lanka - muslim isis government within their territory)
