Father, 2 brothers of Sri Lanka suicide bombings mastermind killed in gun battle
15 people killed in clashes with the Sri Lankan military on Friday included Zainee, Rilwan, and Mohamed Hashim, who were seen in a social media video calling for all-out war on “nonbelievers.”
by Reuters and Israel Hayom Staff, April 28, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementThe father and two brothers of the suspected mastermind of Sri Lanka’s Easter Sunday bombings were killed when security forces stormed their safe house two days ago, police sources and a relative of the suicide bombers told Reuters on Sunday.
Zainee Hashim, Rilwan Hashim and their father Mohamed Hashim, who were seen in a video circulating on social media calling for all-out war against nonbelievers, were among 15 killed in a fierce gun battle with the military on the east coast on Friday, four police sources said.
Niyaz Sharif, the brother-in-law of Zahran Hashim, the suspected ringleader of the wave of Easter Sunday bombings that killed over 350 people in churches and hotels across the island nation, told Reuters the video showed Zahran’s two brothers and father.
Three of the people killed in Friday’s gun battle were the same people who were seen in the undated video on social media, in which they discus martyrdom and urge their followers to kill all nonbelievers, police sources said.
Sri Lanka has been on high alert since the attacks on Easter Sunday, with nearly 10,000 soldiers deployed across the island to carry out searches and hunt down members of two local Islamist groups believed to have carried out the attack.
Authorities have detained more than 100 people, including foreigners from Syria and Egypt since the April 21 bombings.
In the video, Rilwan Hashim is seen calling for all out “jihad,” or holy war, while children cry in the background.
“We will destroy these nonbelievers to protect this land and therefore we need to do jihad,” Rilwan says in the video, sitting beside his brother and father.
“We need to teach a proper lesson for these nonbelievers who have been destroying Muslims.”
Authorities suspect there may be more suicide bombers on the loose. Defense authorities have so far focused their investigations on international links to two domestic groups they believe carried out the attacks, the National Thawheedh Jamaath and Jammiyathul Millathu Ibrahim.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the Easter bombings, and on Sunday the group said three of its members clashed with Sri Lankan police for several hours in Friday’s gun battle on the east coast before detonating their explosive vests, the militant group’s news agency Amaq said.
The group said 17 policemen were killed or injured in the attack, but the Sri Lankan military has denied this. A police source told Reuters two policemen were slightly injured in the battle.
Police have said six children were among the other 12 people who died in the gun battle, but have not released further details.

Sri Lanka is doing to violent jihadists what most Western countries will not do – going after the murderers.

If we actually were to go “after the murderers”, there wouldn’t be a single mosque still standing. Whether there would be a moslem, left alive, depends upon how well they could hide.

The Phoenix media is complicit in a cover-up of recent Muslim honor killings in Phoenix; wife, two children , one bystander gone and the media-inspired, Muslim connection lid remains on in this case.

Indeed, Marc, I hold great admiration for the Sri Lanka government and forces commendable. They may have dropped the ball initially but have come back tenaciously and courageously to eradicate these cowardly Jihadists.
The likes of France and copious others of the Western faux-Democracies fear to blame Islam for their evildoing will create blowback.
The Jihad attacks reported are likely under duress and fearfulness of Islam’s wrath. Even then, the enemedia prefers to sit on a finger while spinning fake-news or creating a justification for Islam’s ravenous thirst for killing non-Muslims.

But India warned them about the attack, and they seemed to do NOTHING.

Yes that is disturbing as are the excuses as to why they couldn’t do anything.

And I think we may have a reason why, it was because Sri Lanka valued its ties with Pakistan too strongly:

If only Marie Harf’s ‘Jobs for Jihadists’ plan had been enacted in time to prevent this. Wait a minute…

And I would’ve asked Yeshua so? Were the Maccabees supposed to turn the other cheek to the Seleucids and allow them to desecrate the Temple Mount?

What has to happen is that every time non-Muslims are killed by Muslims, such as in the Sri Lanka attacks, the government needs to find the mosque in closest proximity to the site of the attack, and randomly arrest 5 Muslims for each person killed in the attack. In this case, that would be over 1500 Muslims. If the closest mosque is smaller than this number, go to the next mosque and continue until 5 Muslims are arrested for every one person killed in the attack.
Then these Muslims are given two options; 1) serve a 3-year sentence with hard labor in country or 2) be deported with no chance of ever entering the country again.
This would force “moderate” Muslims to root out those rotten apples in their midst while helping to rid these countries of this scourge parading as a religion.

They should parade their dead bodies hanging as a lesson to all other Mouslems. Do this and end up like that!
