Letter Published in The National UAE on 23April 19 Condolences for the bereaved families in Sri Lanka  Your article on the Sunday bombings in Sri Lankan churches and hotels was ­extremely painful to read. In addition to Sri Lankan nationals, these callous and bloodthirsty attacks also killed a number of foreign nationals, chiefly tourists. The entire world is now united behind Sri Lanka, following its deadliest terrorist incident in years.Sri Lanka is known for its beautiful landscapes, hills, temples, monuments and famous tourist destinations. Today, it is a country in mourning. Causalities are still rising and many people are fighting for their lives in overburdened hospitals. It is high time the international community woke up and joined together to eradicate the menace of terrorism.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
