shangri-la hotel: Targets included the upmarket Shangri-La hotel in the capital, Colombo, according to CNN. Four days after the coordinated attacks, the Sri Lankan Health Ministry revised the death toll, saying 253 people had died. Bombs ripped through churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, killing at least 250 people and injuring hundreds. That toll is significantly lower than the 359 initially reported to CNN by a Colombo police spokesman this week. On top of the heavy loss of human life, the attacks could cause serious damage to Sri Lanka's economy, which depends on tourism. At least 39 of those killed in the explosions were identified as tourists from countries including the United Kingdom, Denmark, Australia and India.
