Pre-school holds vigil for Zion church victims

The victims of the Easter Sunday bombings at the Zion church in Batticaloa were remembered last week by a local pre-school. 

Over 250 people were killed when Islamist extremist suicide bombers attacked luxury hotels in the capital, as well as churches in Batticaloa, Negombo and Colombo. 

Twenty-nine people were killed at the Zion church in Batticaloa, including 14 children who had gathered with their families to attend the service.
