BBC World · world

A Sri Lankan court is set to deliver its verdict on Naufer Moulavi, accused of masterminding the 2019 Easter bomb attacks that killed 270 people and injured over 500. Twenty-three others also face verdicts for their roles in the coordinated suicide bombings targeting churches and hotels. This marks the deadliest attack since Sri Lanka's civil war ended in 2009. The ruling follows previous court actions, including a Supreme Court order for compensation.
