I don't understand what people get out of killing innocent people and causing havoc and terror in the minds of others.

my condolences to the families of the ones who have lost their lives and wishes for a speedy recovery for the Sri lankan players.

Terrorist activites should be condemned. Its high time the world took a serious stand against such a henious crime.
